For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a streusel topping made with flour, butter, and brown sugar before baking. If you don't have Hawaiian sweet rolls, brioche or challah bread can be substituted. Adjust baking time accordingly. Feel free to experiment with other berries, such as raspberries or strawberries, in place of blueberries. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Prepare the baking dish: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the bottom and sides of an 11 x 7-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter. (5 minutes)
02
Step
8 mins
Toast the sweet rolls: Cut each Hawaiian sweet roll into 3 slices. Spread the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes, or until lightly toasted. This step helps prevent the French toast from becoming soggy. (8 minutes)
03
Step
10 mins
Assemble the casserole: Sprinkle half of the fresh blueberries evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange the toasted sweet roll slices in rows over the blueberries, tucking some slices between others to fill the dish. Sprinkle the remaining blueberries over the rolls, ensuring they are distributed throughout. (10 minutes)
04
Step
5 mins
Prepare the custard: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Almond Breeze vanilla almondmilk, granulated sugar, almond extract, vanilla extract, and well-beaten eggs until well combined. (5 minutes)
05
Step
5 mins
Soak overnight: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread slices, ensuring that all the bread is moistened. Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 8 hours). (5 minutes)
06
Step
1 hrs 20 mins
Bake: In the morning, remove the French toast from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes while the oven preheats to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Uncover the baking dish and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the French toast is golden brown and firm when gently tapped. (80 minutes)
07
Step
5 mins
Serve: Remove the baked French toast from the oven and let it cool slightly. Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving. Cut into squares and serve warm. Enjoy! (5 minutes)
