Equipment

  • 9 X 13 baking dish
  • large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • Aluminum foil

Ingredients
  

  • 1 loaf day-old French bread or brioche cubed
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk whole or 2%
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg optional
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter

Optional Toppings

  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Maple syrup or vanilla glaze for serving
  • yogurt
  • whipped topping

Instructions
 

  • Lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish. Spread the cubed bread evenly across the bottom.
  • Sprinkle the blueberries evenly over the bread, gently pressing some down so they’re nestled into the cubes.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth and fully combined.
  • Slowly pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread and blueberries. Drizzle melted butter over the top.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight so the bread fully absorbs the custard.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove the dish from the refrigerator while the oven heats. Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
  • Let the bake rest for about 10 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with maple syrup or vanilla glaze.
