Blueberry Stuff (aka- Blueberry French Toast)

My mom makes this for Christmas morning every year. She also makes it for breakfast for birthdays and other special occasions- our family LOVES it.

12 slices day old white bread
2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese
1 c fresh or frozen blueberries (JD and I use mixed berries instead- we like that better)
12 eggs
2 c milk
1/3 c maple syrup or honey

Sauce:
1 c sugar
2 T cornstarch
1 c water
1c blueberries (or mixed berries)
1 T butter

Cut bread into 1 inch cubes; place half in greased 9x13 pan. Cut cream cheese into 1 in cubes; sprinkle over bread. Top with blueberries and remaining bread. Beat eggs, milk, and sugar together in large bowl. Pour over bread mixture. Cover and chill 8 hours or overnight. Remove from fridge 30 min before baking. Cover and bake at 350 for 30 min. Uncover and bake 25-30 min longer, or until set.

In saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; add water. Bring to boil over medium heat and boil for 3 min, stirring constantly. Stir in blueberries, reduce heat. Simmer for 8-10 min, or until blueberries burst. Stir in butter until melted. Serve over french toast.
