Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prep the Bread: Coat a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray and cube the sourdough bread into 1-inch pieces. Evenly distribute the bread across the dish and sprinkle blueberries on top.
  2. Mix the Custard: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, almond milk, and maple syrup until smooth. Add lemon zest, juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt, then whisk until combined.
  3. Assemble the Casserole: Pour the custard over the bread and blueberries, ensuring even coverage. Press down floating bread pieces gently. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove plastic wrap and bake uncovered for 45-55 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Let rest for a few minutes, dust with powdered sugar, and serve with maple syrup and butter.
