I got this recipe from Ann Maurtzsen
in Dubuque Iowa. She found it at
http://www.recipezaar.com.
The best part of this is you can make it the night before! AND I'm sure it has
absolutely NO CALORIES!!!
Yeah, right....
1 loaf French Bread, unsliced
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cubed
1-2 cups blueberries
8 eggs
1-1/2 cups milk or light cream of half-and-half
6 T. butter or margarine, melted
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 T. vanilla
1. Cut French bread into cubes (about 12 cups)
2. Grease a 9x13-ince baking dish. Place 1/2 of the cubes in the dish. Top with cream cheese cubes and blueberries, and then top with remaining cubes of bread.
3. In a large mixing bowl with a wire whisk, mix together eggs, milk, melted butter, cinnamon and vanilla until well combined.
4. Pour over bread evenly over top. Using a spatula, lightly press down to moisten.
5. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-24 hours.
6. Preheat oven to 325˚F and remove the plastic wrap from baking dish.
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until center is set and edges are slightly golden. Let stand about 10 minutes before serving. Serve with maple syrup.
