Ingredients (serves 6):
- 1 loaf of French bread, sliced into 1-inch thick pieces

- 8 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Cooking Tips:
- Use day-old bread for best results. Fresh bread will become too soggy.

1. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the blueberries and cream cheese until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
4. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides.
5. Arrange half of the bread slices in the prepared baking dish.
6. Spread the blueberry cream cheese mixture over the bread slices.
7. Top with the remaining bread slices.
8. Pour the remaining egg mixture over the bread.
9. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
10. In the morning, preheat the oven to 350°F.
11. Remove the plastic wrap from the baking dish and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the French toast is golden brown and set.
12. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
13. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with additional maple syrup, if desired.
