Overnight Blueberry French Toast

Transform almost-stale bread into something your family will be raving about for weeks with this easy overnight French toast casserole. Start with a hearty loaf — such as sourdough or whole grain — for best results, then allow the slices to sit out overnight (or briefly toast in the oven) to reach a texture that will soak up even more custardy goodness overnight. Berries and cream cheese join the mix, too, so this crowd-pleasing Easter brunch casserole tastes similar to stuffed French toast you might order at a fancy bistro.

This is a classic: a breakfast of eggs, bacon, hash browns, and Cheddar, all in one delicious dish. Take a tip from other reviewers and cook the hash browns first, for a little extra texture and flavor. You can assemble it ahead of time and bake it on Easter morning.
