Want a happy morning family? Then you need to have a Blueberry French Toast Casserole ready to pop in the oven for breakfast. This is the perfect dish to whip up the night before or make it in the morning and pop it in the oven for brunch.
I am not going to lie… this is the best French toast casserole I have tried. It has the perfect mix of ingredients and the flavors of almond, cinnamon and blueberry will explode in your month with your first bite. French toast is a staple in our family, definitely a top morning request. I love that the recipe is flexible enough that I can make it ahead of time, especially if I have friends coming over for a brunch. If you have 10 minutes you can make it quite spur of the moment as well.
Making Blueberry French Toast Casserole
I said 10 minutes of prep and I’m not kidding, take a look. You cut up the bread slices into cubes or about 6 cups worth. In a mixing bowl you combine all the ingredients except the blueberries and whisk well. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray and fill it with the bread cubes. Pour the liquid mixture over the bread and toss (like a salad!). You can either let it sit for 30 minutes before popping it into the oven @ 350 for 40-45 minutes or you can let it sit over night and cook it in the morning. This recipe can feed up to 10 people!
Breakfast for Dinner
Our family could eat it any time of the day, and it’s fairly common to find us eating some kind of breakfast recipe for our dinners, especially when we are so busy on week night with our kids. Sometimes we get off track with our breakfast choices but not with this recipe. It is simple to throw together and it is beyond delicious and filling.

If you are bored with the standard French Toast recipes out there then this Blueberry French toast casserole is the way to go. You will be trying to fit the next bite into your mouth before you’re finished with the first. Before my kids dig into this deliciousness they like to add some pure maple syrup and a little powdered sugar dusted on the top.

I have the same question about using whole eggs. Is it ok?
This was the best recipe I’ve tried for French toast casserole! I topped mine with sugar and broiled for a couple minutes. Thank you so much for this recipe.
I don’t use almond milk. I am guessing I can use 1% milk?
Yes! That is perfectly ok to use. 🙂
I was wondering about the eggs too (only whites?) and preparing ahead instructions like others have asked – I didn’t see the answer though so thought I would ask as well. Thanks! 🙂
Best Christmas breakfast ever! I top mine with coconut oil and maple syrup. Fantastic!
I have the same questions — why not 8 whole eggs….? And, what about preparing it the night before: any guidance?
Does this reheat well? Considering making it for work and reheating in microwave
Do you use 8 egg whites or 8 whole white eggs?
If you make it the night before, should you wait and add the blueberries just before you bake the next morning?
The egg ingredient – is that meant to be 8 egg whites? Not 8 whole eggs? I couldn’t find anything in the context of the post to identify either.
Although it sounds like a wonderful recipe I’d love to try I still didn’t see the ingredients I need to use to make the mixing. The recipes used to come at the end of the article in a red box. ???
