It’s not every day you get to enjoy a heaping plate of French toast. So why not make it the most indulgent, incredible French toast ever created? This Blueberry French Toast Casserole recipe is going to be your new go-to. Whether you have family in town for the holidays or you’re just looking to indulge for Sunday brunch, you have come to the right place.

The key ingredients to Blueberry French Toast Casserole

In my opinion, the perfect French toast is soft and flavorful but not too sweet. It’s eggy and light but still has integrity. That’s why, I recommend using Challah bread for this recipe. Challah bread is a sweet, eggy bread that is often braided. You probably associate this special bread with Jewish holidays. If you can’t find Challah or would prefer to use something else, try brioche.

The special ingredient in this French Toast Casserole is cream cheese. Hot take: cream cheese literally makes anything and everything better. It adds a tangy, creamy element to this dish and balances out the sweetness of the blueberries and maple syrup.

Make-ahead breakfast to feed a crowd

What makes this recipe so perfect for holidays or for special occasions is that it can be prepared the night before and chilled in the refrigerator until morning. Just cover it with plastic wrap and let the bread go to work. The longer this casserole sits, the longer the bread has to soak up that yummy, creamy egg mixture.

Plus, the perk of making this dish ahead is that you have more time to spend with family or to enjoy your morning cup of coffee. You know what they say – no talkie before coffee. 😉
