Somethings are worth repeating.  Like the Overnight Blackberry French Toast- or as we like to call it at our house, “Breakfast Bliss.”  This recipe is one of the first we posted on this blog because it is one of our family favorites!  However, the photography is somewhat lacking on the first addition and completely buried in the recipe file- so yes, it was time to re-post this wonderful breakfast favorite!

Make this Breakfast Bliss the night before so all you have to do is pop it in the oven for an amazing morning meal!   It combines the all-time classic taste of french toast with cream cheese and blackberry jam. – Mmmm- heavenly!  To take things to an even more mouth-watering level,  we recommend you top it off with Buttermilk Syrup.

This Blackberry French Toast is perfect for company, to serve at a brunch, or for a relaxing weekend at home!

Overnight Blackberry French Toast

Ingredients

Cook the jam in a small saucepan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring until melted and smooth.

Place half of the bread cubes in a lightly greased 13×9 baking dish. Top with cream cheese cubes and drizzle with melted jam. Top with remaining bread cubes.

Whisk together eggs, half-and-half, cinnamon and vanilla. Pour over bread mixture. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Cover and chill 8-24 hours.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake covered for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake 10-15 minutes more or until bread is golden brown and mixture is set.

Serve immediately with Buttermilk Syrup.
