Recipe Information
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)
- maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with unsalted butter and set aside.
Cut the day-old brioche bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the fresh blueberries to the bowl with the bread cubes, gently tossing to distribute them evenly.
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.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread and blueberries. Gently press the bread pieces down to ensure they soak up the liquid.
Let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes, allowing the bread to absorb the custard.
Transfer the soaked bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
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.
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup for extra sweetness.
