Brunch time this spring is looking extra tasty with this delicious casserole with fresh berries. French toast casseroles are great for feeding guests or just for a nice weekend brunch with the family. They are really easy to toss together and are affordable. The blueberries add a nice pop of color to make a dish that typically looks little bleh, look really appetizing! Plus, the blueberries are sweet and add extra flavor. 

Blueberry French Toast Casserole

Blueberry French Toast Casserole has a crunchy outside layer and a really soft inside. You get a hint of cinnamon and juicy bites of berry. The perfect dish to wake up to! 

Tips & Tricks

Crusty Bread

Day old, crusty bread works best. You can buy a fresh loaf, cube it and then have it sit out for a couple hours or until it becomes slightly stale. 

Eggs

You can certainly whisk your egg mixture but I find that beating the eggs with hand mixer work best for a really nice consistency and texture in the casserole. 

Let it Rest

Go ahead and prep this casserole the night before! Let the egg mixture soak into the bread before baking for best results.
