Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups (cubed) Day-old bread (e.g., brioche or challah)
- 1.5 cups Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 8 oz (cubed) Cream cheese
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon (for greasing pan) Butter
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined. This will be your custard mixture.
Spread the cubed bread evenly across the greased baking dish. Scatter the cream cheese cubes and blueberries across the bread, ensuring even distribution.
Pour the custard mixture over the bread, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure the bread absorbs the liquid evenly. Let it sit for 10 minutes to soak.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top becomes golden and slightly crisp, and the custard is set in the center.
Allow the bread pudding to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup, if desired. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
