Scale
Essential Ingredients:
- 1 loaf of brioche or challah bread, cubed
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1½ cups fresh blueberries
- Butter (for greasing the baking dish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Dish:
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter to prevent sticking. - Prepare the Bread Base:
Cut the loaf of bread into cubes and spread them evenly in the prepared dish. - Make the Egg Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until fully combined. - Combine and Layer:
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes, making sure every piece is well-soaked. Sprinkle the fresh blueberries over the top. - Let It Soak:
Allow the casserole to sit for at least 30 minutes, or cover and refrigerate overnight for deeper flavor and easier preparation. - Bake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the casserole uncovered for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the inside is set. - Serve:
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Pair with powdered sugar, maple syrup, or whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
