Overnight Blueberry French Toast Casserole

Recipe View Gather all of your ingredients and prepare your workstation. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in 1 cup of blueberries. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Grease a 10x14-inch baking dish. Arrange a layer of bread cubes evenly across the bottom of the dish. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the bread layer, ensuring it's evenly distributed. Top with the remaining bread cubes. (10 minutes)

Recipe View In a separate large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes, making sure all the bread is moistened. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of blueberries over the top. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the bread to soak up all the delicious flavors. Remove from the refrigerator 30 to 60 minutes before baking to allow it to come to room temperature slightly. (8-12 hours)

Recipe View Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake the casserole in the preheated oven, covered with foil, for 45 minutes. (45 minutes)

Recipe View Remove the foil and continue baking for another 30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean. (30 minutes)

Recipe View Let the casserole cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy as is, or top with maple syrup, whipped cream, or a dusting of confectioners' sugar. (10 minutes)
