Blueberry Maple Breakfast Bake Recipe
Print Options
Preparation time: 15 minutes to prepare, 1 hour to cook. If using frozen blueberries, defrost and drain first.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf of white bread, crusts removed, bread cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4 oz cream cheese, cut into small cubes (about 1 cup)
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries, divided
- 8 eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup plus more for serving
Method
1 Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease an 8 or 9-inch square baking dish. Place half of the bread cubes in the dish. Sprinkle cream cheese cubes and half of the blueberries over the bread. Top with remaining bread cubes and blueberries.
2 Combine eggs, milk, maple syrup and butter in a large bowl and pour over bread mixture.
3 Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cover with aluminum foil if you notice the edges browning too much during baking.
4 Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Cut into squares to serve. Serve with additional maple syrup. Can be prepared the night before, and baked before serving.
Makes 9 servings.

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!
