 INGREDIENTS

– 1 loaf white bread about 16 ounces – 4 ounces cream cheese room temperature – ½ cup sugar – 8 large eggs – 1 ½ cups milk – ½ cup heavy cream – 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract – 2 cups fresh blueberries Topping:* – ½ cup flour – ½ cup brown sugar – ½ teaspoon salt – 3 tablespoons cold butter

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13 pan with nonstick spray.

Cut the bread into small cubes, about 1 inch each. Put the bread into the pan and gently fold in the blueberries.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Gradually beat in the eggs. Add the milk, cream, and vanilla and mix on low speed until blended.

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread in the pan. If necessary, gently stir so all the bread is covered.

Prepare the topping: combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Add the butter and incorporate with a pastry blender or fork until you have a crumbly consistency.

Sprinkle the topping over the french toast in the baking dish. Bake for 40 – 45 minutes or until it’s puffed and golden brown and the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F.
