Ingredients

French Toast

• Butter, for greasing
• 1⁄2 loaf crusty sourgough or French bread
• 4 whole eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1⁄3 cup heavy cream
• 1⁄4 cup brown sugar
• 1 Tbs vanilla extract

• 1⁄4 cup flour
• 1⁄4 cup brown sugar
• 1⁄2 tsp cinnamon
• 1⁄8 tsp salt
• Grated nutmeg
• 1⁄2 stick cold butter, cut into pieces
• 1 cup blueberries

Directions

1. For the French toast: Grease the baking pan with butter.
2. Tear the bread into chunks, or cut into cubes, and evenly distribute in a 9" x 9" pan.
3. Crack the eggs in a big bowl. Whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla. Pour evenly over the bread.
4. Cover the pan tightly and store in the fridge until needed (overnight preferably).
5. For the topping: Mix the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and some nutmeg in a separate bowl. Stir together using a fork.
6. Add the butter and with a pastry cutter, and mix it all together until the mixture resembles fine pebbles. Store in a re-sealable plastic bag in the fridge.
7. When you're ready to bake the casserole, preheat the oven to 350° F. Remove the casserole from the fridge and sprinkle the topping over the top.
8. Bake for 45 minutes for a softer, more bread pudding texture or for 1 hour or more for a firmer, crisper texture.

Notes

• Top with butter and drizzle with warm pancake syrup and sprinkle with blueberries..
