  1. I love the blueberries and cream cheese, very good. If you had overnight guess and served them this in the morning they would never leave. Thank you for sharing this it’s another keeper. Made this for our Worldwide Recipezaar Day Feb 10, 2002.
     
  2. I made this for my DH and I so I cut the recipe in 1/2 and it was baked in an 8x8 dish. It was a perfect size. I cut it into 4 pieces. I also used raisin bread and it turned out fantastic. My DH took the 2 leftover pieces to work and shared it for a mid morning snack. His friend raved about it and wanted the recipe. This will be good for overnight guests. We loved it. Thanks.
     
  3. This is ideal for busy mornings - prepare it the night before and pop it into the oven! Although my family enjoyed this, the children ate around the cream cheese. I will prepare it again but reduce the amount of cream cheese.
     
  4. This is AWESOME. Very easy, and very very good. I almost didn't want to tell my guests how easy it was because they raved about it!
     
  5. Tried this for a brunch, and we didn't really enjoy it. I used a full dry-pint of blueberries, and it wasn't enough. I ended up having to bake it for an hour to set, and the bread on top was so hard then, it was hardly edible. Thanks for the recipe, but I won't be making this again.
