Hi Nancy and Friends! You asked for some tried and true Easter dishes, so I am sending you a couple of favorites for an Easter brunch or breakfast. I will post them just as they were given to me years ago. They are very
forgiving, and to die for, they are so good!

Blueberry Cream Cheese Casserole (that's my name for it)  
1/2  loaf if day old (at least) French bread
6 eggs
1/2 c. Maple syrup
2 c. Or more blueberries
1 8 oz. Pkg cream cheese
 
Syrup  
1 c. Sugar
1 3/4 c. Blueberries
1/2 c. Water
1 T. Cornstarch (more if you want it thicker)
 
Tear or cut up (depending on your mood!) a half loaf of French bread. Mix in mixing bowl the eggs, and maple syrup.
 
Spray an 9X13" baking dish with Pam or such. Spread 1/3 of the bread chunks. Dot the bread with cream cheese chunks,
1/3 of the blueberries. Continue to layer until you run out of ingredients.

Pour egg mixture over top and let sit overnight, or until all of the egg mixture has soaked up.  Bake at 350 degrees for one hour, or until top is lightly brown. Spoon blueberry syrup over each serving.
 
Mix syrup ingredients together and bring to a boil. Cook until thickened. Spoon over hot casserole.
 
Skiers French Toast 
2 T. Corn syrup (light or dark)
1/2 c. Butter
1 c. Firmly packed brown sugar
1 12- 16 oz. Loaf un-sliced French bread, crusts trimmed
5 eggs
1 1/2 c. 2% milk
1 t. Vanilla
1/4 t. Salt
 
Combine corn syrup, butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan and simmer until syrupy. Pour this over the bottom of a 9X13" casserole dish. Slice the bread into 12-16 slices, and place them over the sugar-butter mixture in the dish. In a bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, vanilla and salt. Pour this over the bread in dish. Cover and let stand in fridge overnight. In the morning pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Uncover the pan and bake for 45 minutes. Serve while hot or warm, or the French Toast will harden in the pan  This can be re-heated.
