Ingredients 🛒

  • 4 cups cubed brioche or challah bread (preferably a day or two old)
  • 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp cinnamon (optional, but recommended!)
  • Powdered sugar, for garnish

How to Make It 👩‍🍳

1️⃣ Prep the Dish:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch (or similar-sized) baking dish.
Layer the cubed bread and blueberries evenly in the dish.

2️⃣ Make the Custard:

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon (if using).

3️⃣ Assemble:

Pour the custard evenly over the bread and blueberries. Press down gently with a spatula or the back of a spoon so the bread absorbs the mixture. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to soak fully.

4️⃣ Bake:

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is fully set (a knife in the center should come out clean).

5️⃣ Serve:

Let cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm. For an extra indulgent touch, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!


Storage Tips:

Leftovers? No problem! Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.


Make It Your Own:

  • Swap blueberries for raspberries, cherries, or chopped peaches
  • Add a handful of white chocolate chips or toasted almonds
  • Use maple syrup or honey in place of some sugar for added depth
