Blueberry Bread Custard

Course Dessert

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices white bread crusts trimmed
  • 2 Tbsp butter softened
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter an 8 ich square baking dish.
  • Spread one side of each trimmed white bread slice with butter. Cut each slice into 4 squares. Arrange in prepared baking dish with buttered side of bread facing up. Sprinkle bread with blueberries and cinnamon.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, heat milk and sugar until warmed through, but do not allow to boil. Stir until sugar dissolves.
  • Whisk together warm milk mixture with eggs and vanilla, being careful to temper eggs a bit before blending. Pour custard over the blueberries.
  • Set baking dish in a larger pan, and add enough hot water to produce a 1 inch deep bath. Bake 45-60 minutes, or until a knife blade inserted near the center comes out clean. Remove custard from water bath and cool 10 minutes before serving; or chill to serve later. Makes 6 servings. Enjoy!
