8 ounces Cream Cheese 12 Beaten Eggs 2 cups Milk 1 tablespoon Butter 1 cup Water 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract ⅓ cup Maple Syrup 2 cups Fresh Blueberries 12 French Bread Slices 1 cup White Sugar 2 tablespoon Cornstarch
Grease a baking dish. Take half of the bread cubes and place them on the dish along with cream cheese cubes on top.
Put 1 cup of fresh blueberries over the cheese. Place leftover bread cubes on the top.
Combine eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup in a bowl. Now, pour this mixture over the bread cubes.
Cover this dish with a lid and place it in the refrigerator overnight.
Remove the bread cube mixture from the refrigerator half an hour before baking.
Place a lid over it and bake in a preheated oven (at 350o F or 175o C) for about half an hour.
Now, bake for 25-30 minutes more without the lid.
Place a saucepan over medium heat. Combine sugar, cornstarch, and water in it. Boil it for about 4-5 minutes while stirring continuously.
Add the remaining blueberries to this and mix.
Now, let it simmer for about 10 minutes. When blueberries begin to burst, add butter.
Pour this blueberry mixture over the baked French toasts.
Let it rest for a few minutes and then serve.
