Santa Hats

I was asked to bring dessert to Christmas this year. I went with my favorite for the Holiday season, Pumpkin Cheesecake, but wanted to make something new and festive. I saw this idea on pinterest and had to give it a try. They were a hit and very yummy too. Just get some small brownies, or bake your own using a mini muffin tin, some frosting, and some strawberries.

Overnight Blueberry French Toast

I made this for Christmas Eve morning, it was delicious! I would add more fruit next time and make sure that all of the bread is fully soaked before baking it. It was very tasty and super easy to make. I forgot to take a picture, oops!

OVERNIGHT BLUEBERRY FRENCH TOAST
Found recipe on: Real Mom Kitchen

French Toast:

• 12 slices bread, cut into cubes (french or Texas toast work well.  I prefer Texas Toast.)
• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, cut in cubes
• 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Syrup:

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

1.  Arrange 1/2 of the bread cubes in a greased 9 x 13 pan.
2. Sprinkle cream cheese cubes and blueberries evenly over the bread cubes.
3. Top with remaining bread cubes.
4. Mix together eggs, milk, and syrup.
5. Pour over bread cubes and cover pan with foil. Let chill in refrigerator overnight.
