I love that this casserole can be made ahead of time. It's so convenient to be able to just pop it in the oven in the morning.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover bread. I always have a loaf of bread that's about to go stale, so this is a perfect way to use it up.

This casserole looked amazing, but it was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This casserole was a disaster! The bread was soggy and the custard was runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this again.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The blueberries were a bit too tart for my taste and the custard was a little bland. I might try it again with different fruit and a different custard recipe.

I'm not usually a fan of French toast casserole, but this recipe changed my mind. The blueberries added a burst of flavor and the custard was incredibly rich and creamy. I will definitely be making this again!
