Ingredients
- 12 slices brioche bread (or white bread, cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened )
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 ½ cups blueberries (divided, fresh or frozen )
- 12 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- ½ cup oats
- ¼ cup butter (softened )
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Steps
-
Leave your bread out for a few hours or place it on a tray at 350˚F for about 8 minutes to slightly dry it out.
-
In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar and lemon juice until fluffy.
-
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer half of the bread cubes in the pan. Top with cream cheese mixture & half the blueberries. Top with remaining bread and blueberries.
-
In a bowl, stir together the eggs, milk, syrup, and lemon zest until well mixed. Pour over the bread cubes, cover with foil, and refrigerate overnight.
-
Remove the casserole from the fridge about 45-60 minutes before baking. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
-
Mix topping ingredients together in a small bowl. Sprinkle over casserole just before baking.
-
Bake uncovered 45-55 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean and is hot.
