Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 cups challah bread cubes (cut into 1-inch squares (cinnamon swirl or other sweet eggy breads like brioche are also great))
6 large eggs
3 cups whole milk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen, plus a few additional for topping)
Pure maple syrup for topping (if desired)
Topping
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Spread the bread cubes on a large baking sheet or cutting board and let sit at room temperature to crisp up a bit, at least 1 hour but up to 8.
  • Butter a 9-inch x 12-inch baking dish and add half of the bread cubes (4 cups). Scatter blueberries on top, then add remaining bread.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Pour over the bread cubes and blueberries. Pat gently to help submerge the bread. Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours.
  • To bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small bowl, mix together the 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Remove casserole from refrigerator and uncover. Sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mixture over the top.
  • Bake for 60 - 70 minutes, until golden brown and no longer jiggly. If it begins to brown too much toward the end of baking, cover with a piece of foil.
  • Cut into squares and serve with additional blueberries and maple syrup.

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, use a griddle or large skillet that is heated evenly over medium heat.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the french toast. Cook in batches if necessary.
  • If the french toast starts to brown too quickly, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking until the inside is cooked through.
  • Serve the french toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, powdered sugar, or fruit.
  • For a crispier french toast, use a combination of butter and oil to grease the pan.
  • If you are using frozen blueberries, thaw them before using.
  • For a healthier version of this french toast, use whole wheat bread or almond milk.
