Blueberry Cheesecake French Toast Bake to ensure it turns out perfectly:


Blueberry Cheesecake French Toast Bake

Ingredients:

  • 1 can Grands Homestyle Biscuits (16 oz)
  • 1 can blueberry pie filling (21 oz)
  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, cut into small cubes
  • 2/3 cup maple syrup (plus more for garnish, optional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions:

Step 1: Prep the Pan and Ingredients

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. Open the can of biscuits and cut each biscuit into 5 equal pieces. Arrange the pieces evenly on the bottom of the prepared dish. Leave some space between the biscuit pieces, as they will expand while baking.
  4. Scatter the cream cheese cubes evenly around the biscuits.

Step 2: Make the Custard Mixture

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy whipping cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Bake

  1. Gently pour the egg mixture over the biscuits, ensuring the liquid is evenly distributed.
  2. Spoon the blueberry pie filling over the top, spreading it gently to cover the surface.

Step 4: Bake

  1. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake at 375°F for 50 minutes, or until the center is set and the biscuits are puffed and golden.
    • Tip: Insert a toothpick or knife into the center. If it comes out clean or with a slight custard-like texture, it’s ready.

Step 5: Rest and Serve

  1. Let the French Toast Bake rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to settle and make slicing easier.

Optional Garnishes:

  • Drizzle with extra maple syrup.
  • Add a dollop of whipped cream.
  • Sprinkle powdered sugar for an elegant touch.

Tips for Success:

  • Customize the Filling: Swap blueberry pie filling for cherry, apple, or peach if you prefer.
  • Make Ahead: Assemble the dish the night before (excluding the pie filling). Refrigerate overnight and bake fresh in the morning, adding the pie filling before baking.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.

This indulgent breakfast casserole is a combination of creamy cheesecake, fruity blueberry goodness, and buttery biscuits—perfect for brunch or a cozy weekend treat! 💙🥞
