  • 2 c blueberries, fresh or frozen, rinsed and well drained
  • 8 eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 c milk
  • 1/4 c maple syrup

  4. Sprinkle with cream cheese cubes and 1 cup blueberries.

  5. Top with remaining bread cubes and 1 cup blueberries.

  6. In a bowl, beat together eggs, milk, maple syrup, and butter until well combined.
