Ingredients

Casserole:

12 slices bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, cubed
1 cup fresh blueberries
12 large eggs
2 cups milk
⅓ cup maple syrup

Sauce:

1 cup water
1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Directions

Grease a 9x13-inch pan and spread half of the bread cubes over the bottom. Top with cream cheese and 1 cup blueberries. Layer remaining bread cubes on top.
Mix together eggs, milk, and syrup in a bowl. Pour over the bread cubes in the pan. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight.
Remove from the refrigerator and let stand for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bake in the preheated oven, covered, for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes more.
While casserole bakes, combine water, sugar, and cornstarch for sauce. Bring to a boil until thickened. Reduce to a simmer and add blueberries and butter until cooked down. Serve on top of casserole or on the side.

Cook's Note:

You can use strawberries or peaches instead of blueberries, and frozen instead of fresh. Can use honey instead of maple syrup.
