Overnight Blueberry Breakfast Bake

This is a great little dish for a weekend breakfast or for holiday occasions – especially if you have guests to feed. Its really easy to make and can all be done the day ahead which means that you can sever this up quickly and can limit the clean up. Another bonus is that you can use up any left over stale bread or croissants. Serve it with any breakfast-y sides like fresh fruit and bacon.

Ingredients:

1 Loaf of Leftover Bread
8 Eggs
2 Cups Milk
1/2 Cup Cream
1/2 Cup Butter melted
1/2 Cup Sugar + extra to top to bake
1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
A large handful of Blueberries

Method:

1. In a large bowl or jug, mix together the cream, milk, melted butter, sugar, and the vanilla extract.
2. In a separate bowl whisk the eggs and then add them to the cream mixture. Mix it all together and set aside.
3. Chop up the bread into small cubes. Don’t worry about being exact or pretty.
4. Grease a large roasting tray with butter and add the bread to the pan.
5. Scatter the blueberries over the bread making sure that they are evenly distributed.
6. Pour the cream mixture over the bread and give it a squish so that the bread soaks up some of the liquid.
7. Cover the dish in clingfilm and place in the fridge over night.
8. In the morning, heat the oven to 350º.
9. Sprinkle some sugar over the top of the bake (just enough to lightly cover the top) and place in the over. Bake for about 40 minutes.
10. When the top is lovely and golden brown remove the bake and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
