For an extra touch, sprinkle slivered almonds or chopped pecans over the bread mixture before baking. Feel free to substitute other berries, such as raspberries or strawberries, for the blueberries. If you don't have Neufchatel cheese, cream cheese can be used as a substitute. For a richer flavor, use brioche or challah bread instead of white bread.
