Scale

- 2 cups of blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups of milk
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- Butter (for greasing)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and butter a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

- Pour this mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

- Allow it to cool slightly before serving and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
For an extra crispy top, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking. Allow the casserole to sit overnight for enhanced flavor.
