Chef's Tips

For added flavor, use day-old bread!
You can prepare this dish the night before and refrigerate it until you are ready to bake.

Troubleshooting

If the casserole is soggy, ensure enough time is given for the bread to absorb the egg mixture.
If undercooked, return to the oven covered with foil to allow it to bake through without burning.

Recipe Variations

Substitute blueberries with raspberries or strawberries.
Add nuts like pecans or walnuts for a crunchy texture.

Healthy Alternatives

Use whole grain bread for added nutrients.
Replace milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with a side of crispy bacon or sausage.
Top with additional fresh blueberries and a dollop of whipped cream.
