Ingredients
- Blueberry sauce:
- 12 slices whole wheat bread
- 1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese
- 1 c. blueberries, fresh or frozen, thawed
- 12 eggs
- 1/3 c. maple syrup or honey

Preparation
Step 1
The night before serving, spray a 13 x 9-inch glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Remove crusts from bread and cut into 1-inch cubes. Arrange half of bread cubes in baking dish. Cut cream cheese into 1-inch cubes and scatter over bread. Sprinkle blueberries over cream cheese and spread remaining bread cubes over blueberries.
In a large bowl whisk together eggs, syrup, and milk. Pour evenly over bread. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 30 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
To make sauce, in a small saucepan mix together sugar, cornstarch, water, and blueberries. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, for 10 to 15 minutes or until berries burst. Add butter, stirring until melted. Serve warm sauce over French toast.
