How to Make Baked French Toast With Blueberries

  1. Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Cut a loaf of bread (about 1 pound) diagonally into 1-inch thick slices. Arrange slices in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, lightly beat 6 large eggs with 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Stir in 2 cups milk (whole milk recommended).
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread slices, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Gently press down to submerge the bread.
  6. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (at least 8 hours).
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  8. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  9. Cut in 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  10. Carefully flip the bread slices in the baking dish.
  11. Scatter 1 cup fresh blueberries evenly over the bread. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the blueberries.
  12. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and set, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  13. Let cool slightly before serving. Top with fresh strawberries, if desired.
