Made with chunks of crusty bread, sweet blueberries, lots of brown sugar, a sweet egg-y custard, assembled in a baking pan, and topped with brown sugar. Rather than slicing and dipping individual pieces of bread, this blueberry French toast casserole is more of a dice-and-pour recipe. Start with challah bread, potato bread, or this soft French bread recipe. Or do as frugal folks do and use stale bread in this casserole. Spread half of the bread cubes in an even layer in the prepared pan.
