For Sunday Brunch: Berry Good Breakfast Casserole

Berry Good Breakfast Casserole

Serves 12

1 French bread loaf
16 ounces cream cheese
1 cup blueberries
1 cup strawberry
1 cup raspberries
12 eggs
2 cups milk
1/3 cup honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Prep Day: Trim crusts off the bread and cut into cubes. Cut cream cheese into 1/2 inch cubes. Spray a 13×9 inch baking pan with non stick baking spray. Arrange 1/2 of bread cubes in the bottom of the pan. Top with 1/2 of the cream cheese cubes, mixing the layers somewhat (you do not want smooth layers). Mix all berries together and pour on top. Top with remaining cream cheese and then ending with remaining bread cubes. In large bowl beat together remaining ingredients. Pour entire mixture on top. Wrap and freeze.

Serve Day: Thaw. Bake at 350 F degrees for 30-45 minutes. Serve with your favorite syrup.
