Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup blueberries
• 6 large eggs
• cooking spray
• 1 (1 pound) loaf cinnamon swirl bread, cubed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Grease a 10x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

Beat eggs in a bowl. Mix in milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Step 3

Layer bread and cream cheese in the prepared dish. Sprinkle in blueberries. Pour milk mixture over top. Cover with foil and refrigerate for 1 hour, or overnight, stirring once, if desired, during soaking time to make sure bread cubes soak up the egg mixture.

Step 4

When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Meanwhile, remove baking dish from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Bake, covered, in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until the top is set and browned, about 30 more minutes.
