Really easy and everybody loved it! I’m a non-cooking dad so all were amazed at results. Be sure to put under broiler fo 6 minutes before serving.
So good!
This is super easy and delicious. Its not very “pretty”, but its perfect for a lazy Sunday morning or the morning of a holiday (like Christmas).
The taste was very good. Consistency was strange but still delicious.
Wow! That was good but too sweet for me. I used frozen blueberries which worked just fine. Instead of remaining solid it just kind of crumbled. It wasn’t pretty but topped with powdered sugar and whip cream it looked awesome. My kids loved it. One serving was definitely enough. Serve with eggs if you want more.
Too mushy for my taste.
The baking dish being used inside the pot, is it like the white corning ware ones?
Easy to make. This was very yummy. I did put the blueberries tjpugh my food proccessor to chop them up some.
I used Fat Daddio’s cake pan 6×3. You can use either 6×3 or 7×3.
This one turned out really well for us. We didn’t have any almonds on hand but it tasted great anyway.
Fluffy and tender, delicious! Be sure to blend in the cream cheese well. It tends to clump and stay on top of tge casserole.
Really good, not too rich. JB and BH
Ben says more almonds, and more too cramm it in tighter?
This was delicious very easy to make. We added a next your egg in a little bit more milk sugar and cinnamon. Put in the broiler at the end on low for three minutes.
Very yummy
Very good!! My toddler loved it! I may do less almond extract next time just for my personal taste.
Great! Will make again!
Easy and delicious!
My family’s favorite new breakfast! 5 stars from 6 very happy people!
How does one get 7 cups of bread, 2 cups of blueberries plus all the other ingredients in a 1.5 quart (6 cups) container?
Hi jcorpus,
7 cups of bread and 2 cups of blueberries does seem like a lot for the 1.5 quart (6 cups) container but there will be enough room since the liquid will be absorbed by the bread.
Read the instructions!!! Dont just follow the video.
EXCELLENT ! Dont need to change a thing. I’m a big fan of almond extract in baking and that is the perfect touch for this breakfast. Mmmmm!
Can this recipe be prepared the night before and refrigerated?
Hi Lsideb,
Yes, you can make it the night before but you will need to reheat it, which may slightly change texture of finished dish due to longer overall cooking time. Simply add it back into the Instant Pot and cook for a couple minutes till it is warm (5 minutes).
If making this in the Ultra, do I need to change the timing? Im new to IP and have the Ultra model and I’m not sure the instructructions are the same. Thank you!
