How to Make Freezer Blueberry French Toast Casserole
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Arrange half of the bread cubes in the prepared dish.
- Top with the cubed cream cheese.
- Sprinkle half of the blueberries evenly over the cream cheese.
- Layer the remaining bread cubes on top.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg substitute, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and maple syrup until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes, ensuring all are soaked.
- Sprinkle wheat germ evenly over the casserole.
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or proceed to freezing instructions).
- **Freezing Instructions:** Cover the refrigerated casserole loosely with plastic wrap, then tightly with aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 2 months.
- **Freezing Sauce:** Prepare the blueberry sauce (see below), cool completely, and portion into freezer-safe bags. Freeze for up to 2 months.
- **Blueberry Sauce:** In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until thickened. Stir in the remaining blueberries and simmer for another 10 minutes. Cool completely before freezing.
- **To Bake (from Frozen):** Thaw the casserole overnight in the refrigerator. Remove the plastic wrap.
- Bake covered for 30 minutes.
- Uncover and bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
- Warm the frozen blueberry sauce in the microwave, stirring frequently, until heated through.
- Serve the warm casserole topped with the warm blueberry sauce. Enjoy!
