Typically during the holiday season, it's the cranberry that takes center stage. Of all the berries, the cranberry seems to have made itself synonymous with Christmas. They're featured in a variety of cranberry-infused desserts. Some people string cranberries and place them around the branches of their Christmas trees. They're used in popular holiday beverages like wassail.

Well, Patty Millay, from Owensboro, KY, is ushering those cranberries to the side this year with a delicious holiday recipe that makes blueberries the star. It's a Blueberry and Cream Breakfast Bake.

From Patty:

This was just all too easy, Y'all.  5 ingredients and a quick bake to a delicious holiday breakfast!  This is a high-end bakery quality product that is perfect for a holiday, brunch with friends or even a bake and take dessert!

BLUEBERRY & CREAM BREAKFAST BAKE RECIPE

BLUEBERRY & CREAM BREAKFAST BAKE

2 cans of Pillsbury Blueberry Biscuits
1 quart heavy whipping cream
1 lb frozen blueberries
1/2 cup of melted butter
3/4 cup light brown sugar

DIRECTIONS:

Grease a 9x13 baking dish and add all the blueberry biscuits.  Reserve the icing from the biscuit tin, you'll need that at the very end of this dish.  If you have additional biscuits that won't fit, just rip them into small pieces to fill in between your whole biscuits.  Patty says she had just one left over, but she tore it apart and shoved it down in there.
Add the heavy whipping cream about halfway deep up your biscuits.  This won't take the entire quart of cream but probably more than half a quart.
Top the biscuits and cream with 8 ounces of frozen blueberries (more or less to your taste).
Melt your butter and dissolve the light brown sugar into the butter and pour the mixture over your dish as evenly as you can.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil.  Bake at 350* for about 30 - 35 minutes.  Drizzle the icing that came with the biscuits and that's it!  This is absolutely delicious and presents like a magazine dream (as you can tell from Patty's photo).
Patty Pro Tip: You can change up the fruit to suit what you like.  Cinnamon biscuits and apples come immediately to mind!  This is easy and very inexpensive for a quick bake and a delicious and impressive presentation.
