Here it is… a new recipe that my mom made on the 4th of July weekend! Quite tasty, if you ask me…

BLUEBERRY FRENCH TOAST BAKE
1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 (3-oz.) package cream cheese, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 1/2 c. milk
1 T. sugar 1 c. fresh or frozen blueberries
1/2 tsp. vanilla 1/2 c. chopped nuts
1/4 tsp. salt Powdered sugar
6 eggs Blueberry or maple syrup
10 slices (1 inch thick) French bread, cut into 1 inch cubes

Generously grease a 2 1/2 quart casserole or 9 x 13 baking dish. Beat flour, milk, sugar, vanilla, salt and eggs in a large bowl by hand until smooth. Stir in bread cubes until coated. Pour bread mixture into pan. Top evenly with cream cheese, blueberries and nuts. Cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Heat oven to 400°. Uncover and bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with syrup.
