Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Cube the bread and distribute in the dish. Scatter blueberries over the bread.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk. Add milk, heavy cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
