Berries and Cream French Toast Casserole
Ingredients
- Baguette1
- Cream cheese · softened8 oz
- Sugar2 tbsp
- Vanilla2 tsp
- Blueberry · sliced2 cups
- Egg8
- Milk2 cups
- Cinnamon · ground½ tsp
- Brown sugar⅔ cups
Instructions
- Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes, about 12 cups. Leave them uncovered at room temperature for a few hours (or up to a day) to dry out; for a shortcut, toast them on a lined baking sheet at 300°F (149°C) for 10 minutes.
- Grease a 9×13-inch or 3–4 quart oven-safe dish. Spread half the bread cubes in it.
- Beat the room-temperature cream cheese on medium-high speed until smooth. Beat in the confectioners' sugar and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla until combined. Dollop spoonfuls over the bread. Scatter most of the berries over it, add the remaining bread, then top with the reserved berries.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, cinnamon, brown sugar and remaining vanilla until combined. Pour evenly over the bread. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, up to 24 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Bake uncovered for 45–55 minutes, until golden brown on top (45 minutes gives a softer result). Dust with confectioners' sugar and/or add strawberry topping or maple syrup, and serve warm.
