Description
A simple baked casserole featuring bread soaked in custard and layered with blueberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf (1 pound) French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
- Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter.
- Arrange half of the bread cubes in a single layer in the prepared dish.
- Sprinkle all the blueberries evenly over the bread layer.
- Top with the remaining bread cubes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and blueberries in the baking dish. Press the bread down gently to absorb the liquid.

- Remove the plastic wrap. Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the casserole.

Notes
- Serve warm with maple syrup or powdered sugar, if desired.
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the casserole.
