Ingredients

• 1 loaf (14 ounces) egg challah or other white bread
• 4 oz reduced-fat cream cheese
• 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries, divided
• 8 eggs, beaten
• 1- 1/2 cups milk
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup melted butter

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut the bread in 1-inch cubes (makes about 10 cups). Cut cream cheese in small cubes (makes about 1 cup). Grease 9-x-9-2-inch baking dish. Place half of the bread cubes in the dish. Scatter cream cheese cubes and 1 cup of blueberries over the bread. Top with remaining bread cubes and blueberries.

Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour, covering with aluminum foil if edges brown too much.
• To serve, cut in squares. Accompany with additional maple syrup, if desired.
