Ingredients

• 8 cups day-old brioche bread
• 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
• 4 large eggs
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing the baking dish)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
• 0 maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cut the day-old brioche bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the fresh blueberries to the bowl with the bread cubes, gently tossing to distribute them evenly.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the large eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.

Step 5

Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread and blueberries. Gently press the bread pieces down to ensure they soak up the liquid.

Step 6

Let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes, allowing the bread to absorb the custard.

Step 7

Transfer the soaked bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set. To test, insert a knife into the center—the bread pudding should feel firm and the knife should come out clean.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup for extra sweetness.
