Instructions

Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut day old french bread into 1 inch cubes; set aside.
In a large bowl whisk the eggs. Add whole milk, skim milk, vanilla, almond, lemon zest and sugar. Whisk until sugar is completely dissolved.
Add cubed bread and gently mix until all the bread has soaked up the custard.
Let sit for 15 minutes then transfer to a buttered baking dish and bake for 50-60 minutes (mine took 55 min.)
While bread pudding is baking, make the sauce. Add blueberries, sugar and water to a sauce pan.
Bring to a gently boil then turn down heat and simmer for a few minutes until blueberries start to break down and a sauce forms.
Take off heat, pour into a bowl to cool.
After bread pudding is done baking, let cool for 30 minutes. Top with sauce, whipped cream or ice cream.
