Ingredients
  

For the Casserole
  • 8 slices French bread Use stale bread for the best texture.
  • 2 cups Fresh blueberries Avoid frozen for a vibrant dish.
  • 6 Eggs Try flax eggs for a vegan alternative.

  • 1/4 cup Granulated sugar Feel free to swap it for honey or maple syrup.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Opt for pure vanilla for the best flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon Infuses warmth and depth.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Kosher salt provides better baking control.
For the Streusel Topping
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour Use a gluten-free blend if needed.

  • 1/2 cup Sliced almonds Substitute with walnuts if desired.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cut the stale French bread into cubes and scatter them in the baking dish. Sprinkle half of the blueberries over the bread.
  3. Whisk together eggs, whole milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a mixing bowl until smooth. Pour evenly over the bread and blueberries.
  4. Press down the bread cubes into the custard and top with remaining blueberries.
  5. Combine flour, brown sugar, and sliced almonds in a bowl. Cut in the butter until resembling coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over the casserole.
