How to Make Baked French Toast Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Add sugar and salt; whisk until combined.
  4. Cut bread into 1-inch cubes and place in a large bowl.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the bread, ensuring all pieces are coated. Gently toss to combine.
  6. Let the bread soak in the custard for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes (or better yet, overnight in the refrigerator).
  7. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  8. Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  9. Sprinkle with blueberries and chopped pecans.
  10. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and set. If the top is browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
