Description

Indulge in the delightful flavors of this Blueberry French Toast Casserole for breakfast or brunch. With a hint of cinnamon and a burst of fresh blueberries, this easy-to-make dish is perfect for feeding a crowd.


Ingredients

Bread Mixture:

  • 1 loaf (about 14 oz) French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2¼ cups milk
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Topping (optional):

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ cup cold butter, cut into small pieces


Instructions

  1. Prepare Bread Mixture: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Layer half of the bread cubes, half of the blueberries, then the remaining bread and blueberries in the dish.
  2. Mix Egg Mixture: Whisk together eggs, milk, cream, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Pour over the bread mixture, pressing down gently. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
  3. Prepare Topping: Combine flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Refrigerate until ready to bake.
  4. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Sprinkle topping over casserole, drizzle with melted butter, and bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute almond milk and coconut cream.
  • Serve with extra maple syrup or powdered sugar if desired.
