Blueberry Surprise French Toast Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Mix cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoon milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and creamy; fold in 1 cup blueberries.
• Cover the bottom of a 10x14-inch baking dish with 1 layer bread cubes. Spread cream cheese mixture over bread layer; top with remaining bread cubes.
• Whisk 2 cups milk, eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a large bowl; pour over bread mixture. Sprinkle 1 cup blueberries over bread-egg mixture. Cover dish tightly with aluminum foil and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight. Remove from refrigerator 30 to 60 minutes before baking.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until center is set, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter. Slice the bread into 3/4-to-1-inch-thick slices. If your bread is very fresh, lightly toast the slices before assembling. Tile all the bread in the dish, each slice overlapping the next. Scatter the blueberries over the bread, letting some fall to the bottom of the dish. Whisk the eggs, milk, 1/2 cup cream, 2/3 cup granulated sugar, almond extract and salt in a medium bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Pour over the bread and berries and press gently to help the bread start soaking in the egg mixture. Cut the 2 tablespoons butter into small pieces and dot over the top of the casserole. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand in the refrigerator 8 hours or overnight. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove and discard the plastic wrap. Bake the casserole until golden brown and set in the center, 45 to 50 minutes, tenting with foil if the bread starts to become too dark. Let stand 10 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar if desired. While the casserole bakes, toss the strawberries and raspberries with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar in a medium bowl and let stand until juicy. Before serving, whip the remaining 3/4 cup cream with the remaining 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Serve the casserole with a dollop of whipped cream and a generous spoonful of the berries with their juices.

Steps:

• Grease a 9x13-inch pan and spread half of the bread cubes over the bottom. Top with cream cheese and 1 cup blueberries. Layer remaining bread cubes on top.
• Mix together eggs, milk, and syrup in a bowl. Pour over the bread cubes in the pan. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight.
• Remove from the refrigerator and let stand for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven, covered, for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes more.
• While casserole bakes, combine water, sugar, and cornstarch for sauce. Bring to a boil until thickened. Reduce to a simmer and add blueberries and butter until cooked down. Serve on top of casserole or on the side.
