This decadent dish is similar to a bread pudding. Challah bread is cubed and layered with Wisconsin havarti cheese. After it’s baked with a sweet egg mixture, top it with warm blueberry sauce.

Ingredients

1 16-oz. challah or French bread loaf, cubed
1 8-oz. package havarti cheese, cut into thin slices
6 large eggs
4 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon, divided
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
1 12-oz. jar blueberry preserves

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

  2. Arrange half of bread cubes in lightly buttered 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Top evenly with havarti; top with remaining bread cubes.

  3. Whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, butter, and maple syrup in large mixing bowl; pour over bread mixture, pressing bread cubes to absorb egg mixture. Sprinkle remaining cinnamon over the top. Cover baking pan with foil.

  4. Bake 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 30 more minutes or until lightly browned and set. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

  5. Stir together blueberries and blueberry preserves in a small saucepan over low heat until warm. Serve blueberry sauce over French toast.
