Overnight Blueberry French Toast Casserole
This ain’t your regular breakfast, fam! This casserole is packed with flavor and sweetness that will have everyone asking for seconds.
Ingredients:
- 1 loaf of challah bread or French bread, cut into cubes
- 2 cups of fresh blueberries
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups of milk
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup of maple syrup
- Pinch of salt
- Powdered sugar for serving
Instructions:
- First things first, grab that loaf of bread and cut it up into cozy little cubes. You want ‘em big enough to soak up all that goodness but not so big that they can’t fit in your casserole dish!
- Now, toss those bread cubes into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Get those blueberries all mixed in with the bread cubes too, spreading them around like you’re setting the table for your favorite family meal.
- In a separate bowl, crack those eggs and whisk ’em like you mean it! Add in the milk, heavy cream, vanilla, cinnamon, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until everything is blended together beautifully!
- Pour this sweet, creamy goodness over your bread cubes and blueberries. Make sure every piece of bread gets a fair chance to soak up that mixture. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge. Let it chill overnight so the flavors can mingle and marry.
- The next morning, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once it’s hot, uncover that casserole and throw it in the oven. Bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and puffed up just right.
- Once it’s done, take it out and let it cool for a hot minute. Dust it with some powdered sugar for that fancy touch and serve it warm. You can drizzle a little more maple syrup on it too — because let’s be real, why not?
And there you have it, your Overnight Blueberry French Toast Casserole ready to shine at the breakfast table! Enjoy, y’all!
