Sundays are for brunching, and this Sunday is no different. With knowing tomorrow is Monday, and that today was going to be a lazy day for the most part, I decided to go ahead and make breakfast yesterday. Well, what does that mean? It means Overnight Blueberry French Toast Bake, that’s what it means!

This Overnight Blueberry French Toast Bake is made ahead of time and sits overnight in the fridge where the big cubes of hearty bread cans oat up eggs, cream cheese, blueberries and the like. Then in the morning, it’s ready to be baked and enjoyed!

Let’s be honest, french toast is delicious, but it can be time consuming and a more involved process that most of us are not willing to sacrifice on a weekend morning. Especially this girl. I used a loaf of french bread from the bakery. It wasn’t quite as ‘old’ and crunchy as I would have liked, but it still worked out! To lightened this casserole up, I used reduced fat milk and cream cheese.

If you’re really wanting to be good, you could also use most (or all) egg whites instead of the whole eggs. I prefer my Overnight Blueberry French Toast Bake with just a drizzle of sugar-free or homemade blueberry syrup. But, any syrup or sprinkle of sugar will be delicious!

This is the sort of breakfast (or brunch) that would be great for sleepovers with the kids or even for a family gathering or breakfast time potluck. Especially since it’s one that you get to make ahead of time with very little ‘hands on’ after the initial part of putting it all together the day before.
