I first enjoyed this breakfast meal with my cousins in California. This delicious French Toast bake is easy to prepare ahead of time and delicious! When I eat this, I remember my family and friends with whom I've eaten this meal with in the past. This dish originally calls for sourdough bread. I have modified it to use Hawaiian Sweet bread. Also, pineapple or mango can replace the blueberries if either of those fruits are preferred.

Ingredients:

12 slices	Hawaiian Sweet Bread, crust removed and cubed
16 oz	cream cheese
1 cup	blueberries
12	large eggs
1/3 cup	maple syrup
2 cups	milk
1 cup	sugar
1 cup	water
2 tbsp	cornstarch
1 tsp	vanilla
1 tbsp	unsalted butter

Instructions:

Arrange half of the bread in the bottom of a buttered 9 x 13 inch pan
Scatter cream cheese and blueberries then top with remaining bread
Whisk together eggs, maple syrup, and milk. Pour over bread and let it chill overnight.
The next morning, bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour, or until a table knife inserted in the center of the dish comes out clean
To prepare blueberry sauce, mix sugar, water, blueberries, and cornstarch until dissolved
Heat over medium heat until thickened and add in butter. Add vanilla if desired.
Serve over squares of French toast
