Blueberry Cottage French Toast Strata
On Sunday mornings I try to have a substantial breakfast ready because we are gone for a few hours and need the proper fuel. Cereal just doesn’t cut it. I also aim to have this breakfast assembled the night before so I may pop it in the oven while I get ready for the day. This is very tasty and easy. A new favorite:-)
1 lb french bread, cubed
8 oz package of cream cheese , cubed
8 eggs
2.5 cups of milk, or 1/2 & 1/2
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup of fruit such as blueberries (optional)
Preheat oven to 325 and grease a 13×9 pan. Cube bread and place half in pan. Top with cream cheese. Add your fruit over this then the remaining bread.
Mix the rest of the ingredients well and pour evenly over the bread. Flatten with a spatula to moisten and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight or at least two hours before baking.
Remove wrap and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the center appears to be set and the eggs are golden. Let stand for 10 minutes and serve with maple or blueberry syrup or even alone.
Enjoy!
