If I could only choose to have one meal everyday, it would be breakfast hands down. I love all breakfast foods but don’t always have the time to whip up a special breakfast every morning.
That’s why make-ahead breakfast casseroles are the perfect solution especially if you have guests coming over for a holiday brunch. Mother’s Day, Easter, Christmas or any ole’ Sunday.

Overnight Blueberry French Toast Bake makes the perfect easy and delicious make ahead breakfast or brunch. Best of all, this recipe is super easy to assemble the night before and easy to customize. Bursting with sweet blueberries, fresh lemon and a crunchy cinnamon streusel topping.
Ingredients
Streusel Topping:
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter cold and cubed
- 1 [16 ounce 450 g] loaf of French bread or sourdough bread (day old bread works best), cut into 1-inch cubes with the ends discarded
- 1/2 cup cream cheese softened optional - leave out if preferred
- 2/3 cup maple syrup OR honey divided
- 1 1/2 - 2 cups blueberries , divided (fresh or frozen)
- 6 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk (I used almond)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
OPTIONAL BLUEBERRY COMPOTE:
- 1/2 cup maple syrup OR honey
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- water as needed to thin out sauce to desired consistency
- Optional Toppings:
- maple syrup
- more fresh berries
- whipped cream
- powdered sugar

Instructions
Make the streusel topping:
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon together. Cut in the cubed butter with a pastry blender or two forks. Set aside in the fridge.
- For the casserole:
- Lightly grease a 9x9-inch square baking dish or 2.5 quart casserole dish.
- Arrange half of the bread cubes in the bottom of the pan. In a small bowl, mix cream cheese with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the bread and top with half of the berries.
- Layer with remaining bread cubes on top.
- In a large bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, remaining 1/3 cup of maple syrup, brown sugar and vanilla.
- Pour evenly over bread cubes. Press the bread cubes slightly down to absorb the milk/egg mixture.
- Top evenly with remaining berries. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the bread. Cover pan with foil. Allow to chill in refrigerator for an hour or overnight.
- When ready to bake, remove french toast from fridge. Preheat oven to 350 F. Bake covered with foil for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 23-26 minutes or until fluffy and golden.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm with syrup and additional toppings if desired.
FOR OPTIONAL BLUEBERRY COMPOTE:
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add maple syrup, cornstarch and blueberries. Bring to a boil, while stirring constantly and allow to bubble and thicken for about 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for about 7-10 minutes, or until the blueberries begin to pop. Stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract. Add water as needed to desired consistency. Serve over french toast slices.
