  3. Heat oven to 400F. Top bread mixture evenly with cream cheese, blueberries and pecans. Bake uncovered 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into servings. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup.
Lemon Sauce

  2. Stir in the butter and lemon zest. Cook until the mixture thickens to a syrup consistency.
  3. Stir in the lemon juice. Serve warm.
Recipe Notes

Don’t be too generous with the blueberries—they release moisture while baking and too many will make the center soggy.
