A delightful casserole that combines the comforting flavors of French toast with the ease of baking, perfect for brunch gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf of bread (preferably brioche or challah)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Butter (for greasing the casserole dish)
  • Powdered sugar (for serving, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Generously grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish with butter.
  3. Cut the bread into bite-sized cubes and layer half of them in the bottom of the dish.
  4. Evenly scatter half of the blueberries over the bread layer.
  5. Add the remaining bread cubes on top of the blueberries.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
  7. Pour this custard mixture evenly over the bread and blueberries.
  8. Gently press down the bread with a fork or spatula to ensure it absorbs the custard fully.
  9. Let the casserole sit for about 15 minutes, or cover it and refrigerate overnight for a more developed flavor.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set in the middle.
  11. Allow it to cool slightly before serving.
  12. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and enjoy!

Notes

For a different flavor, try using other berries or add spices like nutmeg or orange zest in the custard.
