For an extra touch of richness, consider using brioche or challah bread in place of sourdough. If fresh blueberries are unavailable, frozen blueberries can be used. Do not thaw before using. The sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving. A splash of bourbon or rum added to the sauce elevates the flavor profile beautifully.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
02
StepIn a saucepan over low heat, combine 1/2 cup sugar and 3 tablespoons butter. Cook and stir until the butter is melted (3-4 minutes). Stir in the heavy cream, bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce has slightly thickened (5-10 minutes). Transfer the sauce to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside.
03
StepIn a separate bowl, beat 3/4 cup sugar and 3 tablespoons softened butter together using an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract; beat until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes). Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly until everything is evenly combined.
04
StepPlace the sourdough bread cubes in a large bowl. Pour the milk mixture over the bread, ensuring it is well-soaked. Let stand for approximately 5 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
05
StepTransfer the bread mixture to a greased 3-quart baking dish.
06
StepIn a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of sugar and the ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the bread pudding. Drizzle approximately 1/3 cup of the prepared sauce over the bread mixture.
07
StepBake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 35 minutes. Serve warm with the remaining sauce.
