Ingredients

24 Slices of bread, cubed

(may use French bread, brioche, or any type white bread).

1 lb. Cream cheese - cut into cubes

2 C. Blueberries

1/4 C. Orange zest

24 Large eggs

1 qt. Milk

1 C. Maple syrup

Sauce:

3 C. Sugar

2/3 C. Cornstarch

3 C. Water

3 C. Blueberries

1 T. Lemon juice

3 T. Butter

Directions

Place 1/2 the bread cubes on the bottom of a spray-coated 12x20x2" pan. Scatter cream cheese, 2 C. of blueberries, and orange zest over bread. Place remaining bread cubes over blueberries.

Mix together eggs, milk, and maple syrup. Pour evenly over entire pan. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 350°. Bake covered for 40 minutes. Uncover, bake an additional 30 - 40 minutes, or until puffed, browned, firm and thoroughly cooked. Cut into 24 squares and keep warm.

For sauce: in a large pot, thoroughly blend sugar and cornstarch. Stir in water. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture boils, thickens, and turns clear - about 7-8 minutes.

Stir in blueberries and simmer until berries burst. Remove from heat and stir in butter and lemon juice. Keep warm.

To serve: pour about 1/4 to 1/2 C. sauce over each portion. Serve hot.

This was great! Thanks for sharing! EDIT: That rating was supposed to be a 5, sorry Griz! My mouse is ultra-senstive and I must not have been careful enough. :(

2 dozen eggs (24 servings) is great for a crowd. I'll try it for a smaller group and probably reduce everything and hope it works just as well. Thanks, Bonjody
