We made this for a bridal shower brunch and it was delicious! The make-ahead step is perfect for making it easier the morning of the event.
Ingredients:
3 (8-oz.) French baguettes
8 oz. mascarpone or cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar
2 cups fresh blueberries
6 eggs
2 cups milk
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 ½ tsp. ground cinnamon
Directions
Slice the Baguette
Grease a 3-quart baking dish. Cut each baguette into 1-inch slices, cutting to but not through bottom of loaf.
Make Filling
For filling: In a medium bowl beat mascarpone and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth. Beat in powdered sugar until combined. Fold in blueberries.
Assemble
Spoon filling between baguette slices; arrange baguettes side by side in prepared dish.
Chill Overnight
In a large bowl whisk together eggs, milk, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, remaining vanilla, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Pour over bread. Cover; chill overnight.
Bake and Serve
Preheat oven to 350°F. Uncover dish. In a small bowl stir together remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle over bread. Bake, uncovered, 40 to 45 minutes or until egg mixture is set, covering with foil the last 15 minutes if necessary to prevent overbrowning. Remove; let cool slightly. Makes 12 servings.
