Ingredients
- 10 slices thick bread
- 2 cups blueberries
- 6 eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup flour
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Start by cubing your thick-cut bread into bite-sized pieces. If your bread isn’t slightly stale, toast the cubes in a preheated oven at 300°F (149°C) for about 10 minutes. Place the bread cubes in a large mixing bowl, and set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and whole milk until well combined. Add in the cinnamon and whisk thoroughly until smooth.
- Gently combine the cubed bread with the egg custard mixture. Fold in the blueberries and let the mixture rest.
- For the streusel, mix together brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and cold, diced unsalted butter to create a crumbly texture.
- Transfer the soaked bread and blueberry mixture into a greased casserole dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the prepared streusel topping over it.
- Cover the casserole and refrigerate overnight, or for at least three hours.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 45-50 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
- Use thick, hearty bread like challah for the best texture.
- Allow the casserole to rest overnight for optimal flavor.
- If your bread isn’t stale, toast it at 300°F (149°C) for 10 minutes.
- Ensure your streusel topping is evenly mixed for a nice crunch.
- Cover leftovers with foil when reheating to retain moisture.
