  2. Cut the French bread into 1-inch cubes and arrange in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  4. Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring they are all coated. Let sit for a few minutes.
  5. Dollop cream cheese and blueberries on top of the bread mixture, pressing down to mix slightly.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and set in the center.
  8. While the casserole cools, combine water, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until thickened.
  9. Gently fold in blueberries until they burst, creating a sauce.
  10. Slice and serve the casserole warm with blueberry sauce drizzled on top.
