Ingredients

  • 1 loaf white bread (no crusts)
  • 3/4 loaf French bread
  • 6 cups fresh or frozen blueberries, rinsed
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 7 eggs
  • 1-1/2 cups milk
  • 1-1/2 cups half and half
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Method

  • Cut white bread into cubes and place into a 9 x 13-inch pan. Distribute blueberries evenly over bread cubes. Microwave cream cheese in a bowl for 2 minutes. Stir carefully and add 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup sour cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Spread over blueberries. Cut French bread into approximately 1-inch slices and place on top of cream cheese mixture. Beat eggs, milk, half and half, cinnamon and nutmeg together. Pour over bread. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, preheat oven to 350°. Bake for 45 minutes, covered. Then uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow pan to set for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting. Sift powdered sugar over the top just before serving.
