  • Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the dish with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  • Prepare the Topping (Optional): In a small bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. Refrigerate this topping until ready to bake.
  • Bake: In the morning, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If using the crumb topping, sprinkle it over the casserole. Bake uncovered for 45–55 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
  • Serve: Let it cool slightly before serving. Add maple syrup, powdered sugar, or extra fresh blueberries as desired.

    • Tips for Success

    • Bread choice matters: Day-old French bread or brioche works best because it soaks up the custard without turning mushy.
    • Customization: Swap blueberries for other berries or add a layer of cream cheese for a richer flavor.
    • Make it ahead: You can even freeze the assembled (but unbaked) casserole for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before baking.

    Overnight Blueberry French Toast is more than a recipe—it’s a lifesaver for busy mornings, holiday brunches, or when you just want something special without waking up early. Sweet, satisfying, and stunning, it’s a dish that brings people to the table with smiles.
