    • 🧀 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
    • 1 cup fresh blueberries
    • 🥚 12 large eggs, beaten
    • 🥛 2 cups milk
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    • 🧂 1 cup white sugar
    • 💧 1 cup water
    • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
    • 1 cup fresh blueberries

STEPS

1

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange 1/2 of the bread cubes in the dish and top with cream cheese cubes.

Sprinkle blueberries over the cream cheese, then top with remaining bread cubes.

3

Whisk eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and syrup together in a large bowl until well-combined; pour over the bread cubes. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

4

Remove casserole from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before baking. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

5

Bake casserole in the preheated oven, covered, for 30 minutes. Uncover, and continue baking until center is firm and surface is lightly browned, about 25 to 30 minutes.

6

Meanwhile, prepare blueberry sauce: Mix sugar, water, and cornstarch together in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, for 3-4 minutes.
