📝 Preparation Steps
1
Grease a 9X13” (23X33cm) baking dish.
2
Place half of the bread cubes into the bottom of the baking dish in an even layer.
3
Place 1 cup of the blueberries (or fruit of choice) over the top of the bread cubes.
blueberries (or fruit of choice)2 cups
4

blueberries (or fruit of choice)2 cups

6
Pour the egg mixture over the bread and blueberries making sure to coat all of the pieces of bread. Use a spatula or spoon to gently press down on the top bread pieces to submerge them.
blueberries (or fruit of choice)2 cups
7
Cover the dish and let it rest in the fridge for at least an hour, or for the best results: overnight. The bread needs to have fully soaked up the liquids before baking.
8
When you’re ready to bake add the cold baking dish to the cold oven**. Set the oven temperature to 350℉ (177ºC) and allow it to gradually warm the baking dish to prevent temperature shock as it preheats.
9
Once the oven has preheated, start the timer and bake the casserole uncovered for ⏱️ 45-55 minutes or until the egg mixture is cooked through and no longer runny. *If the top starts to brown too quickly, you can cover the dish with aluminum foil and continue baking until finished.
10
Serve warm and add desired toppings (maple syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream, etc).
