Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf day-old thick-cut bread (about 10 to 12 cups, cubed)
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries, washed and drained
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • Butter or nonstick spray (for greasing the dish)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
  • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  • Cube day-old thick-cut bread into roughly 1-inch pieces. Spread half of the cubed bread evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  • Scatter half of the fresh blueberries over the bread. Add the remaining bread cubes, then the remaining blueberries on top, layering to evenly distribute the berries.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 2 cups whole milk, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 0.25 teaspoon salt until the custard mixture is smooth and slightly frothy but not bubbly.
  • Carefully pour the custard mixture over the bread and blueberries. Press the bread gently into the custard with a spatula or hands to soak evenly. Do not stir or mix further.
  • Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the bread to absorb the custard fully.
  • Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and uncover it. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes until puffed and golden, and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the casserole cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm.
