Blueberry French Toast Bake
I don’t know about you, but nothing says I love and appreciate you more than a delicious meal cooked from the heart. One of my favorite brunch recipes to cook is an easy breakfast casserole—and this blueberry french toast bake is precisely that! With thick brioche bread and the pure milk + sugar found in Eagle Brand® Sweetened Condensed Milk, you’ll turn a delicious dish into an amazing meal to share with your family this Mother’s Day.
Eagle Brand® Sweetened Condensed Milk can now be purchased in a squeezable bottle! Amazing, right?? Their squeezable sweetened condensed milk has the same great taste as in the can, just now in a convenient bottle. Which is perfect for this recipe because it makes it much easier to reserve a few tablespoons for that final drizzle before serving. You can use their easy to navigate Store Locator page to find out which store near you carries Eagle Brand® Squeeze Sweetened Condensed Milk. With this dish, I love to squeeze some of the sweetened condensed milk right onto my bake- when we have guests I’ll simply squeeze some into a dish.
Some of my favorite desserts are made with Eagle Brand® Sweetened Condensed Milk—like my Gluten-Free Key Lime Bars. Eagle Brand® Sweetened Condensed Milk can help you bake fuss-free, delicious treats so you can spend more time with your family. This Mother’s Day, spend quality time with mom with an easy, fuss-free blueberry french toast bake.
Ingredients needed for a Blueberry French Toast Bake
- 1 brioche loaf
- 1 14oz. Eagle Brand® Squeeze Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 2 cups whole milk
- 6 eggs
- 1 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 Tbsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
How to make Blueberry French Toast Bake
Squeeze one cup of Eagle Brand® Sweetened Condensed Milk into a 1-cup measuring cup.
In a large mixing bowl, add the whole milk, eggs, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to combine. Then, add in the one cup of Eagle Brand® Sweetened Condensed Milk and whisk to combine fully. Reserve the remaining sweetened condensed milk for later.
Cut the brioche loaf into large squares and add to a greased 9X13 baking dish. Pour the milk and egg mixture over the bread cubes.
Top with the fresh blueberries.
Drizzle about one tablespoon of the reserved Eagle Brand® Sweetened Condensed Milk over the top of the blueberry french toast bake.
Place into the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes. Bake until a knife comes out clean from the center. If the top is browning too much, you can gently place a foil tent on top; do not seal the edges.
When finished baking, remove from oven. Let cool for 5 minutes, then serve.

Notes
- A brioche loaf will yield better results than sliced brioche bread. Challah bread would also work nicely.
- For gluten-free, use a gluten-free brioche bread. I would not suggest making a gluten-free version ahead overnight but rather the day of.
