Equipment
Slow Cooker Set
Ingredients
6 cups day-old brioche or challah bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
1½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
4 large eggs
2 cups whole milk
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon pumpkin spice
¼ teaspoon salt
Optional topping: whipped cream, powdered sugar, or vanilla glaze
Directions
Prepare the Slow Cooker: Lightly grease the insert of your bella 6QT programmable slow cooker with butter or nonstick spray.
Layer the Bread and Berries: Add the cubed bread and blueberries to the slow cooker. Toss gently to evenly distribute.
Mix the Custard: In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until fully combined.
Combine and Soak: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread and blueberries. Press the bread down gently so it soaks up the liquid. Let sit for 10–15 minutes before cooking.
Slow Cook It: : Cover and cook on LOW for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the custard is set and the top is golden and puffed.
Serve Warm Scoop into bowls and top with whipped cream, vanilla glaze, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
