Breakfast of Champions

I was given a recipe to make for a baby shower, and when I tasted it, I thought I should share it with the world. It was delish!! Please understand that in order to share this recipe, I had to post pictures that did NOT have Scott in them, I hope you will understand! It is called Baked Stuffed French Toast: here it is.

12 slices bakery bread (I used french bread, and it was nummy)
2 cups milk
1/3 cup maple syrup
2-8 oz cream cheese
12 eggs
Blueberries
cinnamon

Spray 9x13 pan with nonstick spray.
Remove crust from bread. Cube (this was the hardest part of it being french bread, but I sliced it then removed the crust. The helped) Place 1/2 in pan. Cube cream cheese. Place in pan. Add blueberries. Add rest of bread. Mix eggs, milk, syrup and cinnamon (to taste). Pour mixture over bread. Cover and refrigerate over night. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes at 375.

Now... the best part of this meal. The homemade syrup. The french toast dish itself wasnt very sweet, but this buttermilk syrup recipe really made the dish. You could also top it with maple syrup if you want.

Buttermilk Syrup

1 cube butter
1/2 cup buttermilk
3/4 c sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla

Melt butter in saucepan. Add buttermilk and sugar and bring mixture to a boil. Remove from heat and add baking soda and vanilla. Serve immediately or keeps in fridge for 2 weeks, and reheat before serving.

As you can see, it was a hit! The only negative feedback I got was that each bite was different because my cubes of bread and cheese were big. Maybe I'll make them smaller next time, but I thought it was perfect. Try it, love it, let me know what you think!
