Ingredients
– 6 cups day-old bread (such as brioche or challah), cubed
– 2 cups fresh blueberries
– 4 large eggs

– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

– ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
– Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
Making Blueberry Bread Pudding is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. Prepare Bread: Place the cubed bread in a large mixing bowl. If you’re using fresh bread, consider toasting it lightly to prevent it from becoming too soggy.
3. Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries with the bread cubes, ensuring even distribution.
4. Mix Custard: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Pour the custard mixture over the bread and blueberries, pressing down gently to ensure all the bread is soaked.
6. Add Butter: Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the mixture for added richness.
7. Bake: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the pudding to set up slightly for easier slicing.
9. Dust with Powdered Sugar: For an elegant finish, dust the top with powdered sugar just before serving.
With these clear steps, you’ll create a delightful Blueberry Bread Pudding that’s sure to impress!
