I made this just last week, and it’s always so simple and very delish. This is one of those recipes too that would be really sweet to deliver to a neighbor or friend.
Whether you make this one Saturday morning for brunch in June or save it for July 4th and give it a red, white and blueberry twist with a few chopped strawberries thrown in, you will love how simple (and tasty!) this recipe is for breakfast. Bonus, when my family enjoys it, we use a gluten-free bread from Trader Joe’s to keep this g-free for our fam, but of course, a traditional Challah or Brioche works really well too.
From our family to yours, enjoy! xx

Blueberry French Toast Casserole
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 35 minutes
- Total Time: 45 minutes
- Yield: 12 pieces 1x
Description
A simple and delicious breakfast recipe for your summer weekends.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf of Challah or Brioche, torn into pieces (we use a g-free)
- 2 cups of fresh blueberries
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 tablespoon of cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- optional drizzle of milk and powdered sugar (equal parts)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Spray (I use Pam) a 9×12 baking dish. Spread your torn pieces of bread over the bottom of your baking dish. Sprinkle your blueberries over your bread. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together your eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla. Pour this mixture down over the baking dish.
- Pop your casserole in the oven (or the fridge up to 24 hours!) and bake about 35 minutes or until the edges are browned and the center is set.
- Remove from oven and either serve immediately or add a drizzle of glaze over the top (you whisk equal parts milk and powdered sugar to make a quick little glaze) before serving.
Notes
We use a gluten-free bread to keep this recipe g-free.

Where do you find gf brioche?
Mix and Match Mama says
Trader Joe’s is my #1 place, but often, even Walmart will have it (or Amazon!).

Hi, wondering if just one small loaf of Trader Joe’s GF bread will be enough? Do you get the white one?
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes!! It’s the right size. And yes, the white one works just fine as well.

Hello! I got a loaf of challah bread to make this for tomorrow morning. Have you had experience making it the night before? Is it too soggy? Also, should I start with stale bread as many recipes suggest??
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s perfect to make the night before! I almost exclusively make my breakfast casseroles one day in advance. Enjoy!
jennimc says
Perfect! Do you leave your bread out on the counter the day before to get it a little bit stale or don’t mess with that? 😄
Mix and Match Mama says
I do not mess with that 🙂
