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.

OVERNIGHT BLUEBERRY FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE



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:

  • Choose a quality bread: A sturdy bread like French bread or a bread made with a blend of flours will hold up best to the soaking and cooking process.
  • Slice your bread evenly: This will help ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries: If using frozen blueberries, thaw them before stirring them into the batter.
  • Use real cinnamon: Ground cinnamon has a much better flavor than pre-ground cinnamon.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the bread tough.
  • Let the bread soak overnight: This will give the bread time to absorb the flavors of the batter.
  • Cook the bread over medium heat: This will help prevent the bread from burning.
  • Serve the bread immediately: French toast is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Blueberry Overnight French Toast is a delicious and easy way to start your day. The combination of cinnamon and blueberries is a classic flavor combination that is sure to please everyone at your table. The bread is soaked in a creamy egg mixture overnight, which makes it extra fluffy and flavorful. The next morning, all you have to do is cook the bread in a pan until it is golden brown. Serve it with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream. Enjoy!
