Creating Creamy Blueberry Layered Bread Pudding can be effortless 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: Place the cubed bread in a large mixing bowl.
3. Mix Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries with the cubed bread, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
4. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and lemon zest until well combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Pour the egg mixture over the bread and blueberries, making sure all the bread is soaked. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the liquid.
6. Layer the Pudding: Transfer half of the soaked bread mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press down gently to create an even layer.
7. Add More Blueberries: Sprinkle a handful of blueberries on top of the first layer, then add the remaining bread mixture.
8. Top with Blueberries: Finish by scattering any remaining blueberries over the top layer.
9. Bake: Place the baking dish 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.
10. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 15-20 minutes before serving.
