1 loaf (1 pound) Texas toast, day-old
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
8 large eggs
2 1/4 cups evaporated milk
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Streusel Topping
1/3 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch salt
6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Maple syrup, optional
Whipped cream, optional
Extra blueberries, optional
Ellen’s Magic: In place of blueberries, you can add in strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, whatever your heart desires. You may also use any thick bread (Challah, French bread, Brioche). You can make this ahead of time and bake it later.
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish, with butter or nonstick cooking spray. Slice, then cut the bread into cubes, about 1 inch in size. Spread the cubes into the prepared dish and top evenly with blueberries. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add in the eggs, lemon juice, evaporated milk, cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla extract and whisk together well combined and no lumps of brown sugar remain. Pour the custard over the bread. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat Oven to 350 Degrees
Remove the pan from the refrigerator and remove the plastic wrap.
For the streusel topping: In a medium or large bowl, add in the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt and whisk together until blended. Add the cold butter cubes and cut it in using a pastry blender or two forks until it reaches course crumbs. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the soaked bread. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until golden brown on top. Serve warm and garnish with maple syrup, whipped cream, and blueberries (if desired) and enjoy!
