Ingredients
  • 1 loaf French bread, challah, or brioche about 1 pound, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 cup cream cheese cut into small cubes (optional swirl)
  • 6 large eggs

  • 0.25 teaspoon salt

  3. Top with the remaining bread cubes.
  4. Whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Pour egg mixture over bread and berries, pressing gently.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove plastic wrap.
  8. Drizzle melted butter evenly over the top.
  9. Bake for 45-55 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
  10. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar.
