✅ BLUEBERRY FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE INGREDIENTS:
➤1 loaf (14- to 16-oz. loaf) day-old sourdough bread French bread, brioche, challah, or similar, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 12 c)
➤1 1/2 c blueberries, fresh or frozen
➤8 large eggs
➤2 c unsweetened vanilla almond milk or milk of choice
➤1/3 c pure maple syrup
➤zest of 1 large lemon (about 1 tbsp)
➤2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
➤1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
➤1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
➤1/8 tsp kosher salt
➤For serving: powdered sugar, maple syrup, butter
✅DIRECTIONS:
1. Coat a 9×13-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray. Arrange the bread cubes (see notes if the cubes are still very soft or fresh) in an even layer in the pan, then sprinkle the blueberries over the top. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, maple syrup, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Pour over the bread. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator overnight. (If overnight is not possible, I recommend a minimum of 2 hours).
3. When ready to bake, remove the pan from the refrigerator. Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake, uncovered, for 45 to 55 minutes, until lightly golden brown on top and the bread in the center is moist but no longer liquidy. Serve hot, dusted with powdered sugar and topped with butter and maple syrup, as desired.

Blueberry French Toast Casserole with Cream Cheese
Bake a blueberry French toast casserole with cream cheese and a cinnamon streusel topping. Quick and easy overnight breakfast recipe that tastes so amazing!
↓↓↓↓↓ BLUEBERRY FRENCH TOAST BAKE RECIPE BELOW ↓↓↓↓↓
PRINTABLE RECIPE: ????️ ????️
INGREDIENTS:
8 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup light brown sugar
20 ounces sourdough bread*
2 cups fresh blueberries*
8 large eggs
2 cups whole milk
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Streusel Topping -
4 tablespoons salted butter
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Before you get started layering your recipe, go ahead and grease a 9″x13″ baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Combine the cream cheese and brown sugar in a mixing bowl, and set aside.
3. Cube the bread into small 1-inch cubes, and add 1/2 of your bread cubes to the bottom of the baking dish.
4. Spoon small dollops of the cream cheese mixture onto the bread cubes until you've used it all.
5. Sprinkle half the blueberries over the bread and cream cheese.
6. Add the remaining bread cubes on top of the blueberries.
7. Then sprinkle on the rest of the blueberries, sprinkling them evenly all over the casserole.
8. In a large bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
9. Pour the egg mixture over the bread in the baking dish, making sure to soak every single piece of bread.
10. At this point, you can either cover and chill the casserole for at least 4 to 6 hours or overnight.* Or you can go ahead and mix up the streusel topping and bake it.
11. When you're ready to bake your blueberry French toast bake, go ahead and preheat your oven to 350° F.
12. In a small mixing bowl, combine the salted butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon with a pastry blender.
13. Crumble the topping over the entire French toast casserole.
14. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, and bake at 350° F for about 45-50 minutes. Then uncover and bake an additional 15 to 20 minutes.*
15. Allow it to cool for at least 10 to 15 minutes after baking. Then slice it and serve it with powdered sugar, maple syrup, blueberry sauce/syrup, or more blueberries.
*While I use sourdough, which I get at Aldi or make homemade, you can use other types of bread, including plain old sandwich bread, Challah bread, French bread, brioche, gluten-free bread, etc. The choice is up to you. You want the bread to be at least a day old and somewhat stale, so the bread cubes will really soak up the egg mixture. This ensures you don't have any egg mixture just sitting off to itself making a mini quiche in your casserole. You can also dry the bread out a bit by opening up the bag the night before and letting it get air. Or spread the slices out on a baking sheet the morning of, and let sit in a low heat oven for just a bit to lose some of the moisture.
*If you're wondering whether to use frozen blueberries over fresh, you likely would be fine to use frozen blueberries. Be aware, though, that using frozen fruit can add more moisture to whatever recipe you're making, so your baked French toast could end up a little on the mushy side.
*I prefer to refrigerate my overnight blueberry French toast overnight because it lets everything sit and soak into the bread a little longer, bringing out all of the wonderful flavors later on when baking. But sometimes I just want to bake it and be done. And that's ok too.
