Preparation

Step 1

Place half of the bread cubes over the bottom of a well-buttered 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Sprinkle cream cheese and blueberries over bread cubes. Arrange remaining bread cubes over blueberries.

In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs with a rotary beater; beat in milk and the 1/2 cup syrup. Carefully pour egg mixture over the bread mixture. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 2 to 24 hours.

Bake, covered, in a 375 degree oven for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake about 25 minutes more or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, and topping is puffed and golden brown. Let stay for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with blueberry-flavored or maple syrup.

Note: To dry bread slices; arrange bread in a single layer on a wire rack; cover loosely and let stand overnight. Or cut bread into 1/2-inch cubes; spread in a large baking pan. Bake, uncovered, in a 300 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until dry, stirring twice; cool.
