Instructions
Creating Cozy Blueberry Bread Pudding is a breeze when you follow these simple 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 the bread isn’t stale, you may choose to lightly toast it in the oven for a few minutes.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the egg mixture over the cubed bread. Gently fold in the blueberries and melted butter, ensuring that the bread is evenly coated.
5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 5-10 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.
