Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cut the day-old French bread into 1-inch cubes and arrange evenly in the greased baking dish.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  4. Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes, gently stirring to ensure all bread is soaked.
  5. Dollop cream cheese chunks and sprinkle blueberries over the mixture, pressing down lightly.
  6. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Remove casserole from the refrigerator and bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Prepare the blueberry sauce by combining water, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat.
  9. Once thickened, gently fold in blueberries and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
  10. Allow casserole to cool briefly before serving warm with blueberry sauce drizzled on top.
