Blueberry French Toast Casserole is a specialty served at the 1825 Inn, a Hershey PA Bed and Breakfast.  Here is Will's recipe to try at your next Sunday brunch!  For this and more recipes, check out the Mid Atlantic Innkeepers Cookbook.

Blueberries French Toast Casserole 
Ingredients:
• 1 Loaf of Cinnamon Raisin Bread
• 1 package of Blueberries
• 1 ½ cup milk
• 6 oz. cream cheese - softened
• 5 eggs
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 4 1/2 tbsp. flour
• 2 tsp. vanilla
• Powder sugar (optional - used as a topping)

Directions:
This dish can be prepared the night before and refrigerated overnight. Or, prepared and cooked and served immediately. If preparing the night before -cover and store in baking dish and set out ten minutes before placing in preheated oven.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes - until top is toasted (browned). (Please note: If baking after refrigerating overnight - cook an extra ten minutes - until top is toasted, as well.)

Prepare baking dish by spreading butter over the bottom (or spraying with Pam is okay) - Use a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Cut all Bread into Cubes (Cut twice each way to 9 cubes per slice)
• Put all but 4-5 slices of bread in Dish
• Spread Blueberries on top of cubed bread
• Place the additional four slices of bread cubed on top of the layer of Blueberries
• In a Blender blend together the milk, cream cheese, eggs, sugar, flour and vanilla (works best in a blender but if you don’t have a blender then use an electric mixer or food processor).  Mix until smooth.
• Pour mixture over the bread and blueberries
• Use a spatula to push bread down to absorb the liquid
• Let stand five minutes to soak in before placing in preheated oven. (Or, cover and refrigerate overnight.)
• Remove from oven and let sit for five minutes then cut servings
- then sprinkle powdered sugar on top
• Serve with fresh fruit - an egg or two and/or bacon or sausage links.
