Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 loaf French bread, cubed (day-old is best) Use slightly stale bread for the best texture.
  • 2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen Keep frozen until assembly to minimize bleeding.
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 0.5 cups heavy cream Can be reduced to 1/4 cup with an extra 1/4 cup milk for a lighter custard.
  • 0.5 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Butter for greasing Butter, for greasing the baking dish
  • Powdered sugar for serving Powdered sugar, for serving (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth.
  3. Spread half of the cubed French bread evenly in the prepared dish. Scatter half of the blueberries over the bread. Add the remaining bread and top with the rest of the blueberries.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered bread and berries. Press lightly so the bread soaks up the liquid.
  5. Let the casserole sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes. For best results, cover and refrigerate overnight.
Baking
  1. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the custard is set in the center and the top is golden.
  2. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired, then slice and serve warm.
