Blueberry and Cream Cheese Bread Pudding

Blueberry and Cream Cheese Bread Pudding with Fresh Blueberry Syrup....
TO DIE FOR 'Nuf said.

Bread Pudding Ingredients:
Cut up bread, dry (I use Texas Toast)
6 eggs
4 cups cream
1/4 cup maple syrup
Cream cheese, cubes
Vanilla
Nutmeg
Cinnamon
Fresh or frozen blueberries

Slice bread into cubes (I place my bread in the oven on low to dry them out).

Whisk together eggs, milk, syrup, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon.

When the bread is nice and dry cover the bottom of your baking dish with cubes of bread. Sprinkle on cubes of cream cheese and blueberries (use as much or as many as you think will be yummy).

Add another layer of cubes bread. You can add a little more berries and cream cheese on top, it just depends on your personal taste.

Pour egg mixture over bread. Cover with plastic wrap and then place a little bit of weight on top of your dish, this is so that all the bread is soaking in the egg mixture. Allow bread to soak for at least 3 hours, or even better place it in the refrigerator overnight.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place a dish of water on the lower rack under your pudding. Bake until golden brown, about 50 minutes.
