  • 5 cups Challah bread Preferably use a day-old bread, and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
  • 4 eggs Use large eggs.
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • ½ cup sugar
  • zest from one lemon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp almond extract
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt
  • butter or cooking spray Use to grease the baking pan.

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2 – Combine Ingredients

  • Add the cubed challah bread into the baking dish and gently combine blueberries throughout the bread cubes.
    Whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, lemon zest, vanilla, almond extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt In a separate bowl. Mix until well combined.
    Pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over the bread cubes in the baking dish, ensuring the bread is soaked.

    Press down on the bread cubes gently with a spatula to ensure they are fully soaked in the liquid.
