Blueberry French Toast CasseroleBlueberry French toast casserole will have your mouth watering before you even get it into the oven. Who doesn't love the taste of sweet blueberries, especially when they come straight from the oven steaming with all the goodness of cream cheese, French toast, and of course, maple syrup. I can just taste this one now, and cannot wait until I can get into the kitchen to whip up some of my own.
This blueberry French toast casserole should be made using fresh blueberries because when you use frozen blueberries you will find that the juice that is created will turn the bread to a lovely shade of purple during the baking process. Since this does nothing to affect the flavor, if you have no other choice, and like the color purple, you can go right ahead and use those cold berries.
