Recipe Ingredients

  • 6 slices of SPAR Bread, cut into cubes
  • 125g SPAR Plain Cream Cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • ½ cup Fresh or Frozen Blueberries
  • 6 SPAR Eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup SPAR Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Essence
  • 3 tablespoons SPAR Golden Syrup
  • ¼ cup Flaked Almonds
  • ½ cup SPAR White Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Cornflour
  • ½ cup Water
  • ½ cup Extra Fresh or Frozen Blueberries

Recipe Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C.
  2. Lightly grease a 20cm square baking dish. Layer half of the bread cubes in the dish, then add the cream cheese cubes. Sprinkle ½ cup of blueberries over the cream cheese. Top with the remaining bread cubes and flaked almonds.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, milk, vanilla essence, and golden syrup. Pour this mixture over the bread and almond layers. Cover the dish and refrigerate overnight.
  4. The next morning, remove the dish from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  5. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, until the centre is set, and the top is lightly browned.
  6. While the French toast is baking, prepare the blueberry sauce. In a saucepan, mix together the sugar, cornflour, and water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then add the remaining ½ cup of blueberries. Lower the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the blueberries burst and the sauce thickens.
  7. Once the French toast is done baking, pour the warm blueberry sauce over the top.

Hints & Tips

This dish isn’t just for breakfast—it makes an excellent dessert as well. If you’re not in the mood for something sweet in the morning, save it for a delicious pudding after dinner.
