Blueberry Breakfast Casserole
This blueberry breakfast casserole is perfect for brunch or breakfast. It’s a breakfast bake with blueberry bagels, cream cheese, and frozen blueberries that bake together in a rich custard. The top is toasty, and the inside is custardy-soft. You can assemble it the night before and bake it in the morning for an easy breakfast that serves a crowd.
This blueberry breakfast casserole is also known as a bread pudding, but instead of serving it for dessert, you serve it for breakfast – ideally, a holiday breakfast because if there’s any excuse to break out the decadent breakfast bakes, it’s for a holiday breakfast or brunch, right? This blueberry breakfast casserole is rich and sweet with pops of fruity brightness from blueberries layered in the custard and blueberry bagel pieces.
