Ingredients

• 8 cups (cubed) day-old bread (e.g., French bread, brioche, or challah)
• 1.5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
• 4 large eggs
• 2.5 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Place the cubed bread into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the blueberries evenly over the bread cubes.

Step 4

Pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over the bread and blueberries, pressing down lightly with a spatula to ensure the bread absorbs the liquid.

Step 5

Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to soak, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours if you want to prepare it ahead of time.

Step 6

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
