Do we love blueberries! I am not much of a dessert chef, but I sure can whip up a good bread pudding...and this one is one of our favorites. Cooks Notes: You can use fat-free half-and-half and reduced-fat cream cheese and it still is wonderful. Ingredients:
6 cups firm bread, crusts removed, cubed |
6 eggs |
1 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon vanilla |
2 teaspoons orange zest |
4 cups half-and-half |
2 cups blueberries |
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 tablespoon powdered sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees
2. Spray 2 qt shallow baking dish with non-stick spray.
3. Beat eggs and sugar in bowl until light colored; add vanilla and orange peel.
4. Add half-and-half; mix well.
5. Place bread in baking dish; top with half of blueberries. Combine cream cheese and 2 T sugar; mix well.
6. Drop cream cheese mixture by teaspoonfuls over blueberries and bread; sprinkle with remaining blueberries.
