Ingredients
– 18 pancakes (store-bought or homemade)
– 6 large eggs
– 2ΒΌ cups half and half
– β cup brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– ΒΌ teaspoon cinnamon
– ΒΌ teaspoon salt
– 1Β½ cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
1-First, cut the 18 pancakes in half and arrange them cut side down in three rows in a greased 9Γ13-inch casserole dish. This step helps the pancakes absorb the flavors evenly.
2-Next, in a large bowl, whisk together 6 eggs, 2ΒΌ cups half and half, β cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ΒΌ teaspoon cinnamon, and ΒΌ teaspoon salt until smooth, creating a rich custard mixture.
3-Pour this custard mixture evenly over the arranged pancakes, making sure every piece is covered.
4-Then, cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to let the pancakes soak up the goodness from the provided tips.
5-When you ββre ready, preheat the oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and remove the plastic wrap.
6-Sprinkle 1Β½ cups blueberries evenly on top for a fresh burst of fruit.
7-Bake uncovered for about 50 minutes, until the edges turn golden brown and the custard sets perfectly.
8-Serve warm, optionally garnished with powdered sugar and a drizzle of maple syrup for that extra touch.
9-Finally, let the casserole cool slightly before serving to enhance the texture and flavor, adjusting as needed for your preferences.

β° For best texture, soak pancakes overnight; minimum 2 hours if short on time.
π« Frozen blueberries work well but may need 5 extra minutes baking time.
π« Substitute blueberries with bananas, raspberries, or chocolate chips for variety.
π§ Leftovers store in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the microwave.
βοΈ To freeze, bake then cool completely, wrap tightly, freeze up to 2 months, thaw overnight, and reheat at 350Β°F for 30 minutes.
