A decadent little breakfast that is put together the night before then fresh baked in the morning. It can even be pre-assembled a few days ahead to save time.
1 large baguette, cut in 3/4" slices
3/4 cup cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tbsps maple syrup
1 cup fresh or frozen/thawed blueberries
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Topping:
2 tbsps butter
3 tbsps brown sugar
2 tbsps maple syrup
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Blend cream cheese, maple syrup and cinnamon together, then fold in the berries. Dollop about 1 tablespoonful on slices of baguette and lie them end to end in a buttered baking dish. I used berry flavoured cream cheese to up the berry flavour!
Once all the slices are slathered and stacked in place whisk the egg, milk and vanilla together. (Or if making ahead, just cover before the egg, milk, vanilla step and place in the fridge or freezer).
When ready to prep pour the egg mixture over the slices. (This can be done with the frozen ones right from the freezer).
Then cover with foil and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours. Bake in a 350°F oven for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and return to the oven for another 10 minutes.
Melt the topping ingredients together in a saucepan, then drizzle on top. A dusting of icing sugar would have been nice, but this was Christmas morning...oops!
Makes 4 servings.
