Pro Tips
💡
Press the bread cubes gently into the egg mixture - they should be thoroughly soaked but not swimming.
💡
Fresh blueberries burst beautifully, but frozen work too - just toss them in frozen so they do not bleed.
💡
The casserole is ready when the center passes the toothpick test and the top is golden brown.
