OVERNIGHT BLUEBERRY FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE
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 or frozen blueberries for the best flavor. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them before using.
- You can use any type of bread for this recipe, but a thick, hearty bread like challah or brioche will yield the best results.
- Be sure to soak the bread slices in the egg mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the bread absorb the flavor of the eggs and milk and make it less likely to fall apart when cooking.
- When cooking the French toast, be patient and cook it over medium heat. This will help prevent the bread from burning and ensure that it cooks evenly throughout.
- Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
