Overnight Blueberry French Toast Casserole image

I made this for Christmas morning brunch, perfect to put in the oven and go open presents while it bakes. You can top with syrup or whipped cream or nothing at all. I found several different recipes similar to this one, but none had everything I wanted to do with it, so I thought I'd try to make my own. I think it is a very good start, but please, let me know what you think!

Tips:

  • Use fresh blueberries: Fresh blueberries burst with flavor and add a vibrant color to the casserole. If you don't have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries, but make sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't overcrowd the casserole dish: The casserole should be filled to no more than 3/4 full. If you overcrowd the dish, the casserole will not cook evenly.
  • Bake the casserole until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 30-35 minutes.
  • Serve the casserole warm with your favorite toppings: Popular toppings include maple syrup, butter, whipped cream, and fresh fruit.
