Breakfast for dinner

So this is what I made (I will post pics later, I am running like a chicken with my head cut off, but I couldn't wait to post this!):
Baked Blueberry French Toast

12 slices day-old bread, cut into 1 inch cubes (I used just a loaf of bread)
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 cup fresh blueberries (I used frozen, because fresh is a) too expensive & b) go bad too fast)
12 eggs, beaten
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup maple syrup (I cheated & used Aunt Jemimah)

Topping
1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup water
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon butter

DIRECTIONS

Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange half the bread cubes in the dish, and top with cream cheese cubes. Sprinkle 1 cup blueberries over the cream cheese, and top with remaining bread cubes.
In a large bowl, mix the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and syrup. Pour over the bread cubes. Cover, and refrigerate overnight.
Remove the bread cube mixture from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before baking. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Cover, and bake 30 minutes. Uncover, and continue baking 25 to 30 minutes, until center is firm and surface is lightly browned.
Topping
In a medium saucepan, mix the sugar, cornstarch, and water. Bring to a boil. Stirring constantly, cook 3 to 4 minutes. Mix in the remaining 1 cup blueberries. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes, until the blueberries burst. Stir in the butter, and pour over the baked French toast.
