This one got rave reviews from some guests I had over. It was great that I could pop it in the oven for an effortless morning. All the work was done the night before. The bread had a moist, custard-like feel and the blueberries and nuts contrasted wonderfully with the cream cheese. I opted to use chopped pecans for my nuts. All in all, this breakfast was a big success. (Recipe submitted in 2002. It was tested and photographed in November 2013.)
