BAKED BLUEBERRY FRENCH TOAST
A recipe from my favorite vegetarian cookbook, I make this with double the berries (often using mixed berries) and low to non-fat dairy products with a whole grain bread for a more health conscious dish. (This balances out my obsession and overuse of maple syrup!) I've never had anything by rave reviews and recipe requests from this dish. Everyone is always in love with this new take on french toast. Top with some fresh maple syrup for lip-smacking yumminess!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350. Grease a 3- to 4-quart casserole dish. (I use the same size you used.) Cut the bread into 1/2-inch squares.
- Process the Neufchatel, eggs, and maple syrup in a food processor until smooth. Add the sour cream, yogurt, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla, and process until smooth.
- Place half the bread in a single layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle on the blueberries. Pour on half the cream cheese mixture, spreading it evenly. Layer on the remaining bread, and pour on the remaining cream cheese mixture, spreading evenly.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes. (Sometimes I let it sit overnight and bake in the morning.) Remove the foil and bake for 30 minutes more, until the French bread is well set, puffy and lightly browned.
- Garnish with sour cream and blueberries, and serve with maple syrup on the side.

BLUEBERRY FRENCH TOAST BAKE
I based this recipe off other French toast casseroles but without all the white sugar most of them called for. The blueberries and maple syrup sweeten it up plenty! Serve with more maple syrup, if desired.

Tips:
- Use stale bread or day-old French bread. This will help the bread absorb the egg mixture evenly and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Whisk the egg mixture thoroughly until it is well combined. This will help the eggs cook evenly and prevent them from curdling.
- Use a shallow baking dish that is large enough to hold the bread in a single layer. This will help the bread cook evenly and prevent it from overcrowding.
- Bake the French toast until it is golden brown and cooked through. This will typically take about 20-30 minutes.
- Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or powdered sugar.
Conclusion:
Baked French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It is perfect for a crowd, as it can be made ahead of time and reheated. With its simple ingredients and versatile toppings, baked French toast is a classic dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
