Ingredients

• 4 pieces Blueberry bagels
• 1 cup Fresh blueberries
• 2 cups Milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 4 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the butter and set aside.

Step 2

Cut the blueberry bagels into 1-inch cubes and place them evenly in the baking dish. Sprinkle the fresh blueberries over the bagel pieces.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Step 4

Slowly pour the custard mixture over the bagels and blueberries, making sure all the pieces are soaked. Use a spatula to gently press the bagels into the liquid if needed.

Step 5

Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to ensure the bagels absorb the custard.

Step 6

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set but slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 7

Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired. Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
