For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the butter before melting it. The nutty notes will complement the blueberries beautifully. If you don't have sourdough, any stale bread will work. Just be sure it's firm enough to hold its shape when soaked in the custard. Feel free to experiment with other berries, such as raspberries or blackberries. You can also add a handful of chopped nuts for added texture.

Grab a few intact bread slices from the top of the bowl if possible and set aside. Transfer 1/2 of the remaining soaked bread into the prepared baking dish. Don't worry if it's falling apart, it should be; if not, break it up into pieces.

Add blueberries and spread with your fingers to press them down into the bread. Add remaining bread pieces in an even layer, then top with the reserved slices. Pour any remaining custard batter over top and brush with remaining melted butter.
