It goes together fast the night before and is easy to get into the oven in the morning, creating a colorful and delicious breakfast. It can be doubled and even tripled depending on how many you are serving.

We love it with blueberries, and we freeze 500 lbs of berries so we can make this all winter long on Sunday mornings. It is also great with fresh cherries, peaches, apples?be creative!

Serves 10

1 loaf of egg (challah) bread or Texas Toast style bread
8-10 eggs
1 cup cream cheese
1 and 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Cut the crust from the bread and cube into 1" chunks. Spray 9X13 glass baking dish with Pam. Layer 1/2 the bread in the bottom of the pan. Cut the cream cheese into small chunks and place in the pan over the bread. Spread half the fruit layer, then cover with remaining bread.

Place the rest of the fruit on top. This can store in the fridge overnight. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, milk, syrup and butter. Pour carefully over the bread mixture using a cup. Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour, covered with foil. You can remove the foil cover as it finishes baking for a browning effect.

Cut into pieces and serve with sliced ham or sausages. Drizzle with extra syrup if you like.
