Ingredients
- 6 slices of bread
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup blueberries or chocolate chips (optional)
- Butter or cooking spray for greasing the pan
How to Make It
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a Bundt pan with butter or cooking spray. Coat the pan thoroughly, including the ridges, to help the baked breakfast release cleanly.
Cut the bread into cubes and place them in the Bundt pan. Spread the cubes evenly so the mixture can soak through the bread.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined. Continue whisking until the sugar is incorporated and the mixture looks smooth.
Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all the pieces are soaked. Add blueberries or chocolate chips if desired. Pour slowly and distribute the mixture around the pan so every piece of bread absorbs the custard.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and set. The surface should look lightly browned and firm rather than wet.
Allow to cool slightly before inverting onto a serving plate. Letting it cool briefly helps the Bundt hold its shape when turned out of the pan.
Serve warm, optionally topped with syrup or powdered sugar. Add your preferred topping just before serving for the best presentation and flavor.
How to Serve It
- Drizzle each slice with syrup for extra sweetness.
- Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
- Pair it with fresh fruit, yogurt, or a warm beverage such as coffee or tea.
- Add extra blueberries or chocolate chips as a garnish if you used them in the recipe.
How to Store It
Store leftover breakfast Bundt in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat individual portions gently until warm, taking care not to overheat them, which can make the texture dry.
For longer storage, wrap portions securely and place them in the freezer. Thaw frozen portions in the refrigerator before reheating. Add syrup or powdered sugar after reheating rather than before freezing.
Helpful Tips
- Grease the Bundt pan thoroughly, especially around the center tube and ridges, to make inverting easier.
- Pour the egg mixture slowly and check that the bread cubes are evenly soaked.
- Allow the baked Bundt to cool slightly before turning it out so it has time to settle and hold its shape.
- If using optional blueberries or chocolate chips, distribute them evenly throughout the pan for balanced flavor in each serving.
Optional Variations
- Use blueberries for a fruity breakfast or chocolate chips for a richer, dessert-like flavor.
- Add a little extra cinnamon for a warmer spice profile.
- Serve with syrup or powdered sugar, depending on whether you prefer a glossy finish or a light dusting.
