Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh blueberries
- 0.75 cup Sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups Bread (cut into 1-inch cubes, preferably day-old)
- 1 9-inch crust Prepared pie crust
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges if desired.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined and smooth.
Gently stir in the bread cubes, ensuring they are evenly coated with the custard mixture. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
Spread 1 cup of the fresh blueberries evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
Pour the custard-bread mixture over the blueberries in the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Scatter the remaining 1 cup of blueberries on top of the custard mixture, pressing them lightly into the surface.
Drizzle the melted butter over the top layer of the pie.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for a decorative finish.
Slice and serve. Enjoy your Blueberry Strata Pie warm or chilled!
