Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove crusts from bread; cut in 1-inch cubes (makes about 10 cups).  Cut cream cheese in small cubes (makes about 1 cup).  Grease 9-x-9-2-inch baking dish.  Place half of the bread cubes in the dish.  Scatter cream cheese cubes and 1 cup of blueberries over the bread.  Top with remaining bread cubes and blueberries.  In a bowl, combine eggs, milk, maple syrup and butter.  Carefully pour over bread mixture. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes our clean, about 1 hour, covering with aluminum foil if edges brown too much.  To serve, cut in squares.  Accompany with additional maple syrup, if desired.
