BLUEBERRY FRENCH TOAST

BLUEBERRY FRENCH TOAST

Ingredients:

6 slices of french bread, cubed
8 ounce package of cream cheese, cubed
1-21 ounce can of blueberry pie filling, divided
6 eggs
1/4 cup of maple syrup
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions:

Butter 8 x 8 dish. Place half the bread cubes in the prepared dish. Scatter cream cheese cubes over the first layer of bread cubes. Spoon half the can of pie filling in dollops over top and complete layering with remaining bread cubes. In medium bowl combine eggs, maple syrup, and milk. Whisk until well blened. Pour over existing layers. Spread remaining blueberry pie filling over top, then sprinkle with cinnamon.

Preheat over at 350 degrees. Cover dish with foil and bake for 30 mins. Remove foil from dish and continue baking uncovered for an additional 30 minutes.

***I used reduced fat cream cheese, skim milk and didn't butter the dish to try to cut back a bit on the calories. Also, didn't use pie filling, just real blueberries.

This can be made the night prior so that the eggs and maple syrup have the opportunity to soak in.
