How To Make Blueberry-Almond French Toast Casserole

Yield: 4 Servings
Hands-on Time: 5 Minutes
Cooking Time: 25 Minutes
Total Time: 40 Minutes

Buttons to Use: Pressure Cook
Release Type: Quick Release

Tangy blueberries and crunchy almonds take this French toast to a whole new level, yet it’s
simple enough to become an everyday favorite. This recipe uses a 1-quart (1 L) round baking
casserole dish that has a 5½-inch (14 cm) diameter.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup (50 g) brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract (vanilla extract works if you aren’t a fan of almond flavoring)
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh blueberries, or ½ cup (75 g) frozen, thawed
  • 4 thick slices French bread cut into 2-inch (5 cm) pieces (Challah bread also works well)
  • cooking spray
  • powdered sugar, slivered almonds, and additional blueberries for serving
  • maple syrup for serving, if desired
Blueberry Almond French Toast Casserole

1. In a large bowl whisk together the milk, eggs, brown sugar, almond extract, and cinnamon until well blended. Fold in the fresh berries and bread pieces until well coated. You may use stale bread for the bread cubes. It is a great way to use up fresh bread that has gotten a bit hard since it will soften in the creamy custard egg mixture.

2. Spray the baking dish with cooking spray and pour the bread mixture into the bottom of the pan.

3. Place the steam rack into the Instant Pot inner pot and add ¾ cup (180 ml) water. Carefully lower the baking dish onto the steam rack.

4. Secure the lid for high pressure by ensuring the valve is turned to the Sealing position.

5. Press the Pressure Cook button and set the time to 25 minutes.

Allow to cool a bit and then serve.

This makes a perfect weekend breakfast or brunch to gather the family around the table and enjoy eating together.
