This rich and custardy strata is a sweet breakfast treat. A mixture of butter, maple syrup, vanilla, milk, and eggs surround tender brioche bread punctuated with tart bursts of blueberry. We finish the strata by quickly broiling it to caramelize the sugars on top for a crunchy crisp contrast to the pudding-like filling. For a dairy-free version, substitute soy or almond milk for the cow’s milk and coconut oil for the butter.
