Spread 1/2 Cup or more blueberries across the cheese
7
Cover with the other slice of bread (cheese side down, on top of the berries)
8
Beat eggs and half and half in the same bowl you had the cream cheese mixture to get any of the remaining orange flavor (add a splash more OJ or liqueur if desired).
9
Pour over bread mixture let stand for 20 minutes and flip the sandwiches in the egg mixture, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
