Specialty Recipe

Baked Blueberry Surprise
French Toast

Ingredients

8 thin slices of French or Italian bread

8 Tablespoons of cream cheese, softened

1 cup fresh or frozen "dry pack" blueberries

6 eggs

1-1/2 cups milk

4 Tablespoons pure maple syrup

Spread 4 slices of bread with cream cheese. Top with other 4 slices. Slice the cream cheese "sandwiches" into 1-inch cubes. Divide the cubes and place in 4 individual ramekins that have been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle on the blueberries. Mix eggs, milk, and maple syrup. Pour over the bread cubes and berries. Cover dishes with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight. In the morning place the covered dishes in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Be careful foil does not touch the bread. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle with blueberry syrup and serve. Serve with additional blueberry syrup if desired.

Note: Blueberry syrup (Maple Grove Farms of Vermont is what Colonial Gardens uses)

Serves: 4
