Blueberry Maple Breakfast Bake Recipe
Print Options
Preparation time: 15 minutes to prepare, 1 hour to cook.
Ingredients
1 loaf of white bread
4 oz cream cheese
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries, divided
8 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup melted butter
Method
1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2 Remove crusts from bread; cut into one inch cubes. Cut cream cheese in small cubes (makes about 1 cup). Grease a 9x9x2 inch baking dish. Place half of the bread cubes in the dish. Scatter cream cheese cubes and 1 cup of blueberries over the bread. Top with remaining bread cubes and blueberries.
2 In a bowl, combine eggs, milk, maple syrup and butter. Carefully pour over bread mixture.
3 Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour, covering with aluminum foil if edges brown too much.
4 To serve, cut into squares. Accompany with additional maple syrup, if desired. Can be prepared the night before, and just baked before serving.
Yield: 9 portions.

This recipe was wonderful, although I had to make it in a 9x13 instead of 9" square, as there was too much to fit in the smaller pan. To make it a bit more diet-friendly, I even used egg beaters and a high-fiber, low cal bread, and everyone still loved it. Thank you for this great recipe!
