Scale

16 ounces brioche bread

2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

1 tablespoon lemon zest

⅔ cup lightly packed light brown sugar

8 large eggs

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Cut the brioche bread into cubes and place half of them in the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the blueberries and lemon zest over the bread cubes, then add the remaining bread cubes on top.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and blueberries, ensuring all bread cubes are soaked.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
Remove the casserole from the fridge, uncover, and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
Let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
