Description
A delightful breakfast dish that combines the comfort of French toast with the sweetness of blueberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf of bread (such as brioche or challah)
- 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)

- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with butter.
- Cut the bread into cubes and place half of them in the baking dish. Sprinkle half of the blueberries on top.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Pour half of the egg mixture over the bread and blueberry layer. Add the remaining bread cubes and blueberries, then pour the remaining egg mixture on top.
- Gently press down to ensure all the bread is soaked in the mixture.
- Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb.
