OVERNIGHT BLUEBERRY FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE



Overnight Blueberry French Toast Casserole image

I made this for Christmas morning brunch, perfect to put in the oven and go open presents while it bakes. You can top with syrup or whipped cream or nothing at all. I found several different recipes similar to this one, but none had everything I wanted to do with it, so I thought I'd try to make my own. I think it is a very good start, but please, let me know what you think!

CINNAMON BLUEBERRY OVERNIGHT FRENCH TOAST



Cinnamon Blueberry Overnight French Toast image

Cinnamon, vanilla, and blueberries mingle together in this scrumptious overnight french toast bake. Make-ahead recipes like this have been my salvation for many a holiday - and we especially love this one. Prep time includes the 1 hour for the bread cubes to sit out to harden.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 cups challah bread cubes (cut into 1-inch squares (cinnamon swirl or other sweet eggy breads like brioche are also great))
6 large eggs
3 cups whole milk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen, plus a few additional for topping)
Pure maple syrup for topping (if desired)
Topping
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Spread the bread cubes on a large baking sheet or cutting board and let sit at room temperature to crisp up a bit, at least 1 hour but up to 8.
  • Butter a 9-inch x 12-inch baking dish and add half of the bread cubes (4 cups). Scatter blueberries on top, then add remaining bread.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Pour over the bread cubes and blueberries. Pat gently to help submerge the bread. Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours.
  • To bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small bowl, mix together the 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Remove casserole from refrigerator and uncover. Sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mixture over the top.
  • Bake for 60 - 70 minutes, until golden brown and no longer jiggly. If it begins to brown too much toward the end of baking, cover with a piece of foil.
  • Cut into squares and serve with additional blueberries and maple syrup.

OVERNIGHT BLUEBERRY FRENCH TOAST RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Overnight Blueberry French Toast Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 15

SAUCE:
4 thick slices brioche bread*
1 package cream cheese, cut into cubes)
1 cup fresh blueberries (frozen works fine, too)
6 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup pure maple syrup (not pancake syrup)
1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar (optional but we love it)
1 cup granulated white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch (I use Instant Clear Jel)
1 cup water
2 cups fresh (or frozen) blueberries
Zest of one lemon
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • *I buy Brioche buns at Whole Foods, because not only are they delicious, but they aren't horribly expensive. Using an "egg-based" bread will yield the best results. My second choice would be using a French bread that is stale. I don't recommend using plain white bread, but no matter what-- be sure that the bread isn't moist and fresh. Otherwise, you'll end up with gummy French Toast. For the casserole: Spray a 9x13-inch (I use an oval 11 x 9-inch dish) with non-stick spray Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes. Spread half of the bread into the pan, and then spread the cream cheese cubes. Note: I actually added all of the bread, then nestled the cream cheese cubes in between and sprinkled the blueberries throughout (rearranging them until I liked the way it looked. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top. Custard: Whisk eggs in a bowl, add the milk, maple syrup and vanilla. Whisk until well combined. Pour, evenly, over the bread and berry mixture. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. (I set an oval plate on top to weight it down a bit.) In the morning: Remove the casserole and allow to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Replace the plastic wrap with aluminum foil, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, and bake for 30 minutes more-- or until it is set in the center and has a golden color. Blueberry sauce: In a medium saucepan, mix the sugar and cornstarch (or Instant Jel) together to evenly combine. Add the lemon zest. Add the water, while whisking (to prevent lumps). Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Add the blueberries (no need to thaw, if frozen), and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for about 10 minutes, or so, or until the blueberries begin to pop. Keep on low heat until the casserole is ready. Remove the casserole from the oven, and top with the blueberry sauce. Be prepared for people wanting seconds!
