 French Toast Casserole

Ingredients
1 loaf (16 oz) of cinnamon swirl bread (Pepperidge Farm)

• Cut the entire loaf of bread into approximately 1-inch pieces. Use a 13 x 9 non-stick pan and lay the cut pieces of bread across the bottom. Once the bottom is covered, continue to layer the bread on top of itself until the full loaf is in the pan.
• Scatter the blueberries over the bread.
• Mix the eggs, half and half, and vanilla extract in a large bowl, and pour the mixture over the bread and blueberries.
