Steps:
- Vigorously whisk eggs, egg yolks, salt, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a large bowl until mixture turns light and frothy, about 1 minute. Add vanilla, cinnamon, lemon zest, milk, and cream; whisk to combine. Toss in bread slices and press down until they start to soften and are submerged. Let sit, pressing down occasionally with a spatula, until custard has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Brush 2 tablespoons melted butter in the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Grab a few intact bread slices from the top of the bowl if possible and set aside. Transfer 1/2 of the remaining soaked bread into the prepared baking dish. Don't worry if it's falling apart, it should be; if not, break it up into pieces. Add blueberries and spread with your fingers to press them down into the bread. Add remaining bread pieces in an even layer, then top with the reserved slices. Pour any remaining custard batter over top and brush with remaining melted butter.
- Transfer bread pudding onto a baking sheet and place in the center of the preheated oven. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 1 hour. Let sit for at least 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

BLUEBERRY PECAN BREAD PUDDING WITH AMARETTO SAUCE
I won 2nd place in the Blueberry Cooking Contest with this recipe. It is always a hit. I just take bread that is about to need to be chucked and put it in a zip lock bag and freeze it until I have enough to make a pudding. I've thrown in donuts, biscuits, sliced bread, italian bread -it really doesn't matter as it turns out great every time

BLUEBERRY PECAN CRUNCH BREAD PUDDING
Wow, now this is bread pudding. It's warm, moist, creamy, and sweet with a burst of tart from the blueberries. The sweet buttery pecan crumble crunch on top just melts in your mouth. There are a few steps to this and it does take a bit of time (most of it while it chills in the fridge), but it's worth the effort. It's divine!

Steps:
- 1. You can do all these steps the day of just let the custard soaked bread rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes prior to baking. The directions I am giving are for making this overnight. Use any bread you like, any fruit you like. Don't like nuts, leave them out.
- 2. Tear what ever bread you have on hand into one-inch pieces into a bowl. Cover with a paper towel and leave out overnight. Note: My loaf happened to be 18 oz which I think was too much. I added an extra cup of milk to the egg milk mixture it did not look like it was enough for the 18 oz of bread.
- 3. For the topping, cream the one cup of brown sugar with the one stick of butter. You can add another half cup of sugar if you like it sweeter.
- 4. Add pecans cover and chill overnight.
- 5. You see in this photo a cup or so of bread that I added to the topping mixture? I had a handful of old very sweet brioche bread I bought at Wegmans I did not want to toss out so I thought considering I have reduced the sugar by half in most recipes this might be a good idea. Not necessary of course.
- 6. If using the bread, mix into pecan/butter mixture and chill overnight.
- 7. The next day, beat cream cheese, zest, and sugar until creamy.
- 8. Add milk and beat carefully.
- 9. Add salt and vanilla. Beat.
- 10. Add one egg at a time beating in between each. Set aside. You will want the bubbles that have formed to diminish as much as possible before adding to the bread.
- 11. Butter a 9x13 glass pan lightly. Then sprinkle turbinado, aka demerara sugar, over the butter lightly. Or, use any sugar you have handy.
- 12. Put a handful of bread covering bottom. Sprinkle some pecans and blueberries.
- 13. I was able to do this three times at the end press bread down.
- 14. Pour the egg milk mixture over the entire surface.
- 15. Cover and let sit overnight.
- 16. The next day, take the bread pudding and topping out of fridge let the chill come off. Break apart the topping and add to the bread pudding.
- 17. Cook at 350 degrees for 45 - 60 minutes depending on your oven. You do not want to overcook it, so after 35 minutes test it with a knife you want it to come out clean.
- 18. I have seen some people top this dish with a sauce of 2 cups of confectioners sugar, 1 tsp of vanilla and 4-6 tsp of water or milk just enough to make a smooth sauce that you can drizzle. Or you can use a dollop of ice cream or whipped topping.
AMARETTO SAUCE
This sauce is so YUMMY!! It was originally a topping for bread pudding(check out my recipe for that too!) but this is too delicious to hide in another recipe. I use it to top so many thing but my favorite is for ice cream! I also usually double the recipe.

BLUEBERRY PUDDING WITH HARD SAUCE
The 'pudding' is really a cake, but this is what my grandmother always called it. It is topped with a butter-sugar sauce when served. I have never had anything as delicious in my life. It is not low- cal, but one of those rare indulgences worth the calories.
