Pull-Apart Blueberry Bread Pudding

 From Delish this was a delicious sweet breakfast casserole and so easy to make the night before!

1 (12 count) package slider buns (sweet Hawaiian rolls, preferably) 

3/4 c. whole milk 

1/2 c. heavy cream 

1/2 c. granulated sugar 

3 large eggs, beaten 

1 tsp. pure vanilla extract 

1 tsp. lemon zest 

1 1/2 c. blueberries 

2 tbsp. powdered sugar, for garnish

Step 1 

Preheat oven to 350°. Using a small serrated paring knife, cut a round well in each of the slider buns. Tear removed bread into pieces and place in a medium bowl. 

Step 2 

In a large bowl, whisk to combine milk, cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and lemon zest. Add 1 cup of milk mixture to bowl with pieces of torn bread, then add blueberries. Gently stir to combine. 

Step 3 

Place slider buns into a medium baking dish (the tighter the fit, the better). Spoon bread-and-blueberry mixture into each well. Pour remaining milk mixture all over slider buns, then cover baking dish with aluminum foil. 

Step 4 

Bake for 20 minutes, then remove foil and bake 20 to 25 minutes more, or  until golden and no liquid is visible. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
