Preparation

Step 1

With a whisk, combine half and half, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, salt, vanilla and almond extract in a large bowl.

Add bread cubes and stir until well coated.

Fold in blueberries.

Pour mixture into a greased 8x8 pan.

Sprinkle 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar evenly over the top.

Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. (For firmer consistency, baking time may be a little longer).

Serve with cinnamon syrup or white sauce.

White Sauce: Mix all ingredients together and bring to a boil for 3 - 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Set a side for 5 minutes, pour about 1/2 mixture on warm bread pudding and place the remainder of sauce in a serving bowl for those that desire that little extra. Best served warm, but great at room temperature.
