Breakfast food for dinner? Oui Oui !

So. I am now living on my own. 

My permanent roommate and I were not 

getting along and since it seems like our romance has 

imploded and will never recover, I am now

tucked away in a small one bed/bath house. 

It's actually really cute. 

I live on a quiet dirt lane that has lots of trees, is really green, 

and surrounded by pastures and nice houses with friendly faces. 

I have been keeping to myself a lot for the past couple weeks

trying to adjust and to have some privacy while my eyes leak nonstop. 

BUT. I did create a delicious baked french toast dish tonight. 

And that's a plus. 

This stuff is so fluffy and delicious it could easily become a once-a-week staple for me. 

Cinnamon Apple-Blueberry French Toast Bake

Ingredients:

 6 eggs

 1 1/2 cups milk

1/2 cup flour

1 tbs sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp salt

1 pkg cream cheese

1/4 cup brown sugar

Cinnamon for dusting

1 baguette ( cut into cubes about 1-2 inches thick)

1 container fresh blueberries

1/2 apple, cored, peeled, and cut into 1 inch chunks

Maple syrup

Slice up your baguette into 1 inch chunks. Allow to

sit out for a few hours so it's nice and stale... yes, STALE :) 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees :)

Thoroughly spray a 13x9 pan with non-stick spray

 Whisk together eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla, and salt. 

Once blended, add cubes of bread to egg mixture (I hand dip each cube to make sure it's completely coated). 

Place soaked bread cubes into sprayed pan. Cut cream cheese into small cubes (1 inch) and scatter over top of bread cubes. Top with blueberries and apples.

 Dust with brown sugar and cinnamon. 

Bake for 25-28 minutes. 

Remove from oven, let cool. Cut yourself a piece and drizzle 

with syrup and enjoy :) 

*Pecans, powered sugar, lemon ricotta, and peaches are also great substitutes for ingredients.

Diced up baguette...  nice and stale

Coated bread chunks, cream cheese cubes, and blueberries with apples

 Dusted with cinnamon and brown sugar

 

Fresh out of the oven after 28 minutes!

 

 A delicious piece of fluffy goodness for dinner :)

After eating all these carbs, my eyes are getting heavy. Work tomorrow and Thursday... then I will be off to Disneyland with a couple friends for the weekend. Can't wait :)
