Pour over bread and turn slices over to coat well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and butter (cut into chunks) in a food processor until mixture resembles course crumbs (can be done ahead and stored in a plastic bag in refrigerator). Next day turn bread slices over in baking dish. Cut cream cheese into small pieces and scatter on top of bread. Sprinkle brown sugar mixture on top of bread and cheese. Scatter blueberries on top.
