Eggs
Whole milk
Heavy cream or half and half
Granulated sugar
Brown sugar
Vanilla extract
Ground cinnamon

Cream cheese

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
- Cut the French bread into thick slices and layer them in the greased baking dish.
- Tuck cubes of cream cheese and fresh blueberries between the layers of bread.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring all pieces are soaked. Let it sit for about 20 minutes to absorb the mixture.
- In a separate bowl, mix the plain flour and cold, cubed unsalted butter until crumbly; sprinkle this topping over the bread.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
Notes
For a richer flavor, opt for flavored cream cheese and feel free to mix in other berries. Perfect for brunch or a sweet breakfast treat.
