Arrange ½ the bread cubes in a buttered glass baking dish. Scatter the cream cheese over the bread and
sprinkle blueberries over the cream cheese. Arrange the remaining bread cubes on top. In a large bowl,
whisk together the eggs, syrup and milk and pour evenly over the bread mixture. Cover dish with foil and
refrigerate over night. In the morning, remove from refrigerator ¾ hour before baking.
Preheat oven to 365º F and bake covered for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for 30 minutes or
until the French toast is puffed and golden.
To prepare sauce, (can be prepared the night before) in a small saucepan, stir together sugar, cornstarch and
water. Cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes or until the mixture has
thickened. Stir in the blueberries and simmer, stirring occasionally for ten minutes or until the berries have
burst. Add the butter and stir the sauce until the butter has melted. Serve hot over the French toast.
Serve with crispy bacon.
