Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter melted and cooled
  • 8 slices Texas Toast
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • Maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • Cube the Texas Toast into large pieces.
  • Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon and melted butter and mix well.
  • Sprinkle 1/3 of the brown sugar mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Add half of the cubed bread, then sprinkle 1/3 of the brown sugar mixture on top and scatter with the blueberries. Place remaining bread cubes over the berries and sprinkle with the remaining brown sugar mixture.
  • Whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, and salt together and pour evenly over the bread. Cover with plastic wrap and press down lightly. Refrigerate the strata overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake uncovered for 45 -60 minutes until puffed and golden.
  • Serve with maple syrup.

Notes

  • This Blueberry Strata recipe calls for Texas Toast — not the frozen variety — which should be available in a sliced loaf on the grocery bread aisle. If you can't find that, a brioche or dense sourdough will work.
  • When slicing your own bread for the strata, make sure it is 3/4 to 1-inch thick.
