Overnight Blueberry French Toast Casserole

So I've decided that another goal for this year is to learn to cook, so every Tuesday is now going to be Tasty Tuesdays. I plan on finding recipes that I would love to try sometime and posting them. If you have any suggestions, let me know!

So this week, our recipe is for Blueberry French Toast Casserole. I found the recipe from: Chef In Training.

Alright, well here we go! Here's the recipe:

French Toast: 

• 12 slices of bread, cut into cubes (french or Texas toast work well)
• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, cut in cubes
• 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
• 12 large eggs
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 2 cups milk

Syrup:

• 1 cup sugar 
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
• 1 tablespoon butter 

Directions:

1. Arrange 1/2 of the bread cubes in a greased 9x13 pan.
2. Sprinkle cream cheese cubes and blueberries evenly over the bread cubes.
3. Top with remaining bread cubes.
4. Mix together eggs, milk and syrup.
5. Pour over bread cubes and cover pan with foil. Let chill in refrigerator overnight.
6. Bake covered with foil at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 30 minutes or until fluffy and golden. Top with sauce. 
7. Serves 8 people.

Sauce:

• Cook water, sugar and cornstarch until thick; stir in blueberries and simmer for 10 minutes. Add butter and stir until melted. Drizzle over french toast and serve. 

I have tried a breakfast recipe similar to this, but this sounds too good to pass up! I can't wait to try it sometime soon! ENJOY!!
