Jump to RecipeI dare you to try this Easy Overnight Blueberry Soufflè and not like it! No way, Jose! This delightfully good breakfast casserole is assembled the night before, so it makes serving a fabulous breakfast a breeze in the morning and makes you look simply AMAZING!
Forget the ramekins and a water bath, this soufflè couldn’t get much easier to make, as it is simply made in a casserole dish and baked in the oven…no water bath needed!
Every bite consists of sweet blueberries, cream cheese, or fluffy bites of soufflé goodness!
HELPFUL HINTS FOR EASY OVERNIGHT BLUEBERRY SOUFFLÊ
Blueberries can be fresh or frozen.
I make the blueberry sauce the night before and store it in the refrigerator. Simply warm it up in the microwave when ready to use.
After baking, let the soufflè rest for about 15 minutes before serving.
After resting for 15 minutes, cut the soufflè into squares and drizzle the top of the squares with some of the blueberry syrup when serving.

- Next, sprinkle 1.5 cups blueberries over the bread and cream cheese.
- Now sprinkle the other half of the cubed bread over the top.
- Give your egg mixture another quick whisk and pour evenly over the top of the bread, cream cheese, blueberry mixture.
