How To Make Blueberry Breakfast Bake
For this recipe, blueberries are combined with a luscious, cream cheese, and lemon mixture. For the dough portion of the recipe, all you need is one package of Pillsbury™ Grands!™ refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing.
Other ingredients that you need to make this blueberry breakfast casserole are:
- 1 8 –ounce package cream cheese softened
- ½cup powdered sugar
- 2cups fresh blueberries
- 2 Tablespoons grated lemon zest
To make it, start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
In a large microwavable bowl, microwave cream cheese and powdered sugar uncovered on High for 30 to 60 seconds, stirring after 30 seconds, until softened. Stir until smooth. Stir in blueberries and 1 tablespoon of the lemon zest.
The dough is separated into 5 rolls. (The icing needs to be placed back in the refrigerator.) Cut each roll into 6 pieces.
The biscuits are cut and added to the cream cheese mixture, spooned into a baking dish, and then popped in the oven for approximately 35 minutes.
Brace yourself – it’s so delicious and the smell of the cinnamon rolls baking is a*mazing!
Bake until the dish is bubbling around the edges and the dough is baked through in the center. Cool it for 10 minutes.
Transfer the reserved icing to a small bowl and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon zest. Spoon the icing mixture into a small resealable food-storage plastic bag and partially seal the bag. Cut off tiny corner of the bag and squeeze the bag to pipe the icing over the top of the breakfast bake.
