Ingredients
  

Bread Base
  • 8 slices day-old bread (sourdough or brioche) Use tougher bread for better absorption.
Custard Mixture
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy) Almond or oat milk can be used for a dairy-free option.
  • 1/4 cup sugar Brown sugar adds a nice flavor twist.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Toppings
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries Frozen blueberries can also be used.
  • Butter or cooking spray For greasing the baking dish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Cut the day-old bread into cubes and layer them in the baking dish, then sprinkle fresh blueberries over the top.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  4. Pour the custard mixture over the bread and blueberries, ensuring everything is well soaked.
  5. Gently press the bread down with a spatula, cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least an hour or overnight.
