Overnight Blueberry French Toast Casserole

Hi! How was your weekend?
This casserole definitely falls into the oldie but goodie category. There are many reasons why this is a family favorite, but the best part is that it requires almost no work the following day. I am all about spending as much time as possible with my loved ones instead of in the kitchen.
There is nothing like sitting down for a meal and enjoying every minute of good food, good conversation and perfect company. Sitting down for a meal is really important in our house. Both my husband and I eat supper together pretty much every night at our dinner table. It’s something we have done since day one of our marriage and still look forward to the most each and every day.
As soon as this dish comes out of the oven, the entire family will be able to enjoy a delicious meal together.
Not only does it make for a nice presentation with perfectly toasted French bread pieces and caramelized blueberries on top, but it tastes even better. This French toast casserole is crunchy, fruity, sweet and has a soft & creamy middle. It comes out just right every time.
I happen to think that this is the quintessential breakfast or brunch food or if you’re anything like me, this is more than appropriate for dinner as well :).
We top our French toast with a fabulous homemade Blueberry Syrup. Making the syrup is completely optional as you could totally serve this with regular syrup or even powdered sugar instead. But if you love blueberries or fruity syrups, this one is for you. And a must-try if you’ve never had it before.
Alright, friends. Hope you have a great start to your week!!
