Description
A warm and sweet breakfast casserole that combines fluffy bread, creamy custard, and tart blueberries for a delightful morning treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf of bread, cubed
- 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to ensure your casserole doesn’t stick.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Add the cubed bread and blueberries to the egg mixture, gently folding everything together.
- Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake the casserole for 30-35 minutes until the top is lightly golden and the mixture is set.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm and dust individual portions with powdered sugar.
Notes
Use day-old bread for best results. Allow the casserole to sit in the fridge overnight for better absorption of the custard.
