What's a better combination than blueberries, cream cheese and French toast? This breakfast casserole is not too sweet, and it's perfectly rich and creamy. It's super easy to throw together the night before, then refrigerate and bake morning of for a special brunch or breakfast treat.
This recipe was handed down to me by my mother from a good friend of hers and they've both been making it for years. It's one of those recipes that you can make for a large gathering, and be sure to have some copies on hand - because everyone is going to be asking for it. It's super simple and SO yummy. 🙂
