Best Sunday Breakfast

Blueberry Cream Cheese French Toast Casserole
Here's my favorito dish for Sunday mornings...it's sweet, filling, and you prepare it all the night before. When you wake up, just pop it in the oven before the mad dash of scrubbing, combing, and dressing begins. You get a hearty breakfast without all of the work on the Sabbath. Perfecto!

1 loaf bread, cut into cubes (or torn - the original recipe calls for french bread, but i usu. just use whatever i have - wholegrain, etc.)
8 ounces cream cheese, slightly softened
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries Cinnamon
8 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
3/4 cup maple syrup

Butter a 9 x 13 pan. Layer one half of bread cubes in pan. Cut cream cheese into cubes and scatter over bread. Layer blueberries over the cream cheese. Cover the blueberries with the remaining bread. Sprinkle generously with cinnamon. In a bowl combine the milk, maple syrup, eggs. Whisk to combine. Pour the mixture over the bread and press the mixture into the bread with a spatula. This will help the bread soak up the egg mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Bake at 350 for 45 to 50 minutes.
