Recipe - Blueberry Bread Custard

4 sl White Bread; crusts trimmed
2 tablespoon Butter or Margarine;
softened
1 One half cup Fresh Blueberries
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
2 cup Milk
One half cup Granulated Sugar
3 lg Eggs; lightly beaten
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Preheat oven to 350F degrees.

Spread one side of each trimmed white bread slice with butter. Cut
each slice into 4 squares. Arrange in a lightly buttered 8inch
square baking dish with the buttered sides of the bread facing up.
Sprinkle the bread with the blueberries and cinnamon.

In a saucepan over medium heat, heat the milk and sugar until warmed
through, but do not bring to a boil. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

Whisk together the warm milk mixture with the eggs and vanilla, being
careful to temper the eggs a bit before blending. Pour the custard
over the blueberries.

Set the baking dish in a larger pan, and add enough hot water to
produce a 1inchdeep bath.

Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until a knife blade inserted near the
center comes out clean.

Remove the custard from the water bath and cool 10 minutes before
serving; or chill to serve later.
