Ingredients

1 loaf (16 ounces) day-old French bread, cut into 1-inch slices8 large eggs1 cup half-and-half cream1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract1 cup old-fashioned oats1 cup packed brown sugar1/4 cup all-purpose flour1/2 cup cold butter2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries1 cup chopped walnuts

Preparation

Arrange half of the bread slices in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, cream and vanilla. Slowly pour half of the cream mixture over the bread. Top with remaining bread and egg mixture. Let stand until liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar and flour; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over top. Top with blueberries and walnuts.

Bake, uncovered, at 375° until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 30-35 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
