Ingredients
  

  • 1 loaf French bread, cut up...[$1.00]
  • 6 large eggs, ...[$1.38]
  • 1½ cup half & half, ...[$0.75]
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract, ...[$0.70]
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon, ...[$0.04]
  • 1 cup blueberries, frozen or fresh...[$2.50]

  • 2 tbsp. corn syrup, ...[$0.18]
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped...[$3.24]
  • 1 cup rolled oats, ...[$0.28]

Instructions
 

  • Either cut the French bread into squares or just rip up piece about 1 inch large and put into a greased 8x8 casserole dish.
  • In a large bowl, whisk eggs, half & half, vanilla, and cinnamon. Pour over cut up bread pieces.
  • Using your hands, lightly push the bread mixture down into the casserole dish to make sure every piece will soak in the egg mixture. Sprinkle ½ to ¾ cup of blueberries on top of soaking bread.
  • In the same bowl used earlier, blend butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, pecans, and oats until evenly mixed.
  • Evenly lay dollops of oatmeal mixture on top of blueberries. Press down lightly to get into all the holes. Blueberries can stick out and not all have to be covered.
  • Cover and set in refrigerator for four hours or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 375 °F and bake covered for 45 minutes.
  • Remove cover on casserole dish and turn off oven. Leave dish cooking for another 15 minutes.
  • Take out of oven and let set for 10 minutes. Slice and enjoy with a few leftover blueberries on top.
