– 4 large eggs

Instructions
Creating Creamy Blueberry Layered Bread Pudding is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare Bread: In a large bowl, place the bread cubes. Set aside.
3. Mix Blueberries: In a separate bowl, gently fold the blueberries into the bread cubes, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Pour the egg mixture over the bread and blueberry mixture. Stir gently to ensure all bread is soaked.
6. Layer Bread Pudding: Transfer half of the soaked bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing down slightly. Add a layer of blueberries if desired, then top with the remaining bread mixture.
7. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.
9. Dust with Powdered Sugar: For an elegant touch, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving if desired.
