Ingredients

1 (16 oz) can Grands! Homestyle biscuits (cut into 5 pieces each)
1 (21 oz) can blueberry pie filling
1 (8 oz) block cream cheese (cut into small cubes)
⅔ cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
6 large eggs
⅔ cup heavy whipping cream
½ tsp ground cinnamon
Optional garnish: whipped cream, extra maple syrup, or powdered sugar

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.

Step 2: Layer the Biscuits and Cream Cheese
Cut each biscuit into 5 pieces and spread them evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Scatter the cream cheese cubes over the biscuit pieces.

Step 3: Make the Custard Mixture
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and maple syrup until smooth.

Step 4: Assemble the Bake
Gently pour the custard mixture over the biscuits and cream cheese. Spoon the blueberry pie filling evenly over the top.

Step 5: Bake
Bake for 50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 6: Cool and Serve
Let the bake rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with whipped cream, extra maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.

Tips for the Best Blueberry Cheesecake French Toast Bake

Use room temperature ingredients. This helps the custard mix evenly.
Don’t overmix the custard. Whisk just until combined to avoid air bubbles.
Customize the fruit. Swap blueberry pie filling for cherry, apple, or strawberry for a different flavor.

Make it ahead. Assemble the bake the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes if needed.

Variations

Chocolate Blueberry French Toast Bake
Add ½ cup chocolate chips to the biscuit layer for a chocolatey twist.

Lemon Blueberry French Toast Bake
Add 1 tbsp lemon zest to the custard mixture for a bright, citrusy flavor.

Nutty Blueberry French Toast Bake
Sprinkle ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts over the top before baking for added crunch.
