Steps

1Grease a 9×13 baking dish and then add the cubed bread to the baking dish. Sprinkle the blueberries evenly over the bread cubes.
2Make the Custard
3Next, make the custard. Add the eggs, milk, half, and half, vanilla extract, cinnamon, lemon zest, brown sugar and melted butter, to a large mixing bowl. Whisk together until everything is well combined.
4Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread. Press the bread down slightly into the custard to ensure that every piece comes in contact with the custard mixture.
5Refrigerate the Casserole
6Cover the casserole dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or up to 24 hours. Or, if you are short on time, cover the casserole with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 hours.
7Once you are ready to bake the casserole, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the casserole dish from the fridge, uncover, and let sit for 30 minutes to allow the baking dish to come to room temperature.
8Make the Streusel Topping
9While the oven is preheating make the streusel topping. Add the softened butter, granulated sugar, all purpose flour, cinnamon, and salt to a small mixing bowl. Stir together until well combined and a crumble forms. Sprinkle to the streusel topping evenly over the top of the French toast casserole.
10Place the casserole in the middle rack of the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes until it is golden brown and set in the middle.
11Let the casserole cool for 10 minutes before serving. Top with sifted powdered sugar, fresh berries, and maple syrup.
