Ingredients for Blueberry French Toast Bake
- Bread – A sturdy loaf like brioche or French bread.
- Eggs – Medium or large eggs.
- Vanilla extract – Pure, not imitation.
- Cinnamon
- Ground nutmeg
- Brown sugar – Light or dark
- Milk – Whole milk is my preference
- Blueberries – We used fresh, but frozen will work too.
- Cream cheese icing – Homemade cream cheese icing or store bought
- Topping – Butter, brown sugar, flour
How do you make a blueberry French toast bake? (Step-by-step)
⭐ First, place half the bread, torn into pieces in a casserole dish, drop half of the cream cheese icing over the bread, then sprinkle half of the blueberries over. Repeat with the remaining amount of each. ⭐ Then, in a large bowl whisk together eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar and milk. Pour over bread, being sure to moisten as much as the bread as possible. ⭐ Next, mix ingredients for topping and sprinkle evenly over casserole. ⭐ Finally, bake until cooked through and browned on top.
Preparation
Can you make blueberry French toast casserole ahead of time?
Yes! You can make overnight blueberry French toast casserole by preparing the dish completely the evening before, then covering or wrapping it tightly and storing in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake it the next morning. You can also bake it ahead of time and reheat it in the toaster oven or microwave when ready to eat.
Can you double the recipe?
Yes, if you want to make baked blueberry cream cheese French toast for a large crowd, use a roasting pan and double the ingredients. (Roasting pans are typically about 16″ x 13″.) You may need to increase the cook time about 15 minutes. Begin checking for doneness at 45 minutes and cook longer as needed.
Leftovers and Storage
How long does blueberry and cream cheese French toast casserole last?
The uncooked casserole can be kept overnight in the refrigerator. Once it’s cooked it can be kept covered in the refrigerator for up to about 5 days.
Can you freeze a blueberry French toast bake?
The cooked casserole can be frozen for up to several months. Make sure it cools and is covered tightly before placing in the freezer. To thaw, place in the refrigerator overnight or for several hours. Reheat the casserole in individual portions in a toaster oven on medium or in the microwave for 30 – 60 seconds on high power.
Variations
🟢 Try making this with other berries and fruit like raspberries, strawberries, or even peaches. 🟢 Make a fall version by mixing some pumpkin puree with the cream cheese icing and skipping the blueberries. 🟢 Use a muffin tin to make individual sized blueberry French toast casseroles.
