Blueberry Maple Breakfast Bake

01Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 350°F and coat an 8 or 9-inch square baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

2. 2

   Arrange half the bread cubes in the prepared dish. Scatter the cream cheese pieces and half the blueberries over the top, then add the remaining bread and blueberries as a final layer.

3. 3

   Whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, and butter until combined, then pour the mixture evenly over the layered bread. To prepare in advance, cover the dish and refrigerate overnight, then continue with baking the following morning.

4. 4

   Bake at 350°F until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes. If the edges begin to over-brown, tent loosely with aluminum foil.

5. 5

   Allow the bake to rest for 10 minutes before cutting into squares. Serve warm with extra maple syrup on the side.
