A super easy recipe for perfectly baked French Toast. This recipe is a family favorite and will be sure to please everyone around your breakfast table. I happen to think that this is the quintessential breakfast or brunch food. Or, if you’re anything like me, this is more than appropriate for dinner as well.
We top our French Toast with Heaven's to Betsy's Homemade Blueberry Spoon Fruit. If you love blueberries or fruity syrups, this one is for you. And a must-try if you’ve never had it before.
Ingredients
1/2 loaves French Bread, cut into cubes
4 oz. cream cheese
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 (8 oz) jars Heavens to Betsy Blueberry Spoon Fruit
1 cup blueberries for garnish
1 cup milk
5 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions
Spray an 8-x-8 inch casserole dish with nonstick spray.
Spread half of the French Bread cubes in an even layer over the bottom of the casserole dish.
Mix together cream cheese, milk, and powdered sugar until well combined. Mixture should be somewhat thick and not watery. Add more powdered sugar if mixture seems too thin. Pour over bread cubes and top liberally with one-half 8 oz jar of Heavens to Betsy Blueberry Spoon Fruit.
Add remaining bread cubes over the top.
Combine 1 cup milk, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and syrup. Pour mixture over bread cubes and sprinkle with remaining half of Heavens to Betsy Blueberry Spoon Fruit. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
Remove casserole from fridge 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and bake covered for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 30 minutes or until the center is set.
During the last 10 minutes of baking time, prepare the blueberry syrup. Pour one 8 oz jar Blueberry Spoon Fruit into a small saucepan. Heat mixture and bring to a simmer for 10 minutes. Serve casserole with warm syrup immediately.
Notes:
Casserole is best enjoyed served immediately, but can be stored in the fridge for 2 days. Also, you can use any type of Heavens to Betsy Spoon Fruit you prefer.
