Overnight Blueberry French Toast Casserole
A twist to the classic french toast recipe, the overnight blueberry french toast casserole is a make-ahead breakfast dish that can be prepared in a jiffy!
Ingredients
- 12 Bread slices
- 2 cups Milk
- 6 Eggs
- 3 tbsp Sugar optional
- 1 cup Fresh Blueberries
- 1/ to 1/2 cup Cream cheese cubed (optional)
Instructions
- Tear the bread into chunks or cut it into 1" x 1" pieces.
- Lightly grease a baking tray, and lay half the bread pieces in it.
- Add the cream cheese cubes (optional) and half the blueberries to the tray.
- Over this, add the remaining bread pieces.
- Top it with the remaining blueberries.
- In a separate bowl, mix milk, eggs and sugar to form the batter.
- Pour the batter into the baking tray.
- Cover the baking tray with aluminium foil and refrigerate overnight.
- In the morning, take the tray out of the fridge and bake it covered for 30 minutes at 175 - 180 degree C.
- Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 30 minutes.
- Check if the center is cooked by sticking a toothpick in. If it comes out clean, it is done.
- Top it with powdered sugar / cinnamon / berry sauce / maple syrup / honey.
Notes
- For Low-sugar Modifications: Reduce sugar or skip it altogether in the batter and instead use healthier topping alternatives like honey, maple syrup or homemade berry sauce for sweetness.
- Make it dairy-free: Use dairy-free milk and cream cheese in place of regular milk and cream cheese.
- Make it gluten-free: Use gluten-free bread instead of regular bread.
