How to Make Baked Blueberry French Toast

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 3- to 4-quart casserole dish.
  2. Cut 1 pound of whole-grain bread into 1/2-inch cubes.
  3. In a food processor, combine 8 ounces softened Neufchâtel cheese, 4 large eggs, and 1/2 cup pure maple syrup. Process until smooth.
  4. Add 1 cup low-fat sour cream, 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt, 1/2 cup milk, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Process until smooth.
  5. Place half of the bread cubes in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle 1 cup of blueberries (or mixed berries) evenly over the bread.
  7. Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the berries, spreading evenly.
  8. Layer the remaining bread cubes on top, then pour the remaining cream cheese mixture over the bread, spreading evenly.
  9. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil and bake for another 30 minutes, or until the French toast is set, puffy, and lightly browned.
  11. Let cool slightly before garnishing with 1/4 cup sour cream and 1/4 cup blueberries. Serve warm with extra maple syrup.
