This Blueberry Cheesecake French Toast Bake will satisfy all of your breakfast needs and wants in one dish: part bread pudding, part French toast, 100% delicious and feeds a crowd!
Buttery and rich challah bread soaked in a lemony custard, flecked with juicy blueberries and the pièce de résistance: a hidden cheesecake layer! Oh and it’s topped with maple butter while it’s still hot so it melts into the golden bread. It makes my knees weak.
This was a huge hit when I served it and I’m willing to stake all my worldly possessions to say it will be for you too. Aside from the initial time investment, it bakes away in the oven with no intervention from you so you can sit down and enjoy a mimosa or two. And it’s one of the few breakfast bakes that doesn’t require you to plan ahead for an extended or overnight soaking-not that that’s a bad thing, it’s just sometimes I don’t have my head on straight to plan ahead like that, ya know?
But it’s the perfect make-ahead dish too if you are one of the organized ones; just make it the night before and tuck it away in the fridge until you’re ready for it so you can have a relaxing morning with your people AND have a delicious breakfast for them.
No matter what you do, it will be perfect!
