The Organized Life, Blueberry Shortcake Bread Pudding
This Blueberry Crossiant Puff recipe from Olla-Podrida is on my bucket list this month, all I needed was an excuse to make it
Our Birthday Celebration weekend was the perfect occasion to have this breakfast or dessert bread pudding on hand to feed hungry faces
I baked it before the family arrived and placed it on the Spooky Buffet for easy access, ready for breakfast, dessert or snacking
I had some shortcake biscuits from Trader Joe’s in the freezer that I wanted to use, so I substituted them for the croissants in the original recipe
These dense shortcake biscuits taste like a combination of shortbread and biscuits. They might not be available year round so feel free to substitute with another type of biscuit, french bread, challah or croissants
I gave them a drink of melted butter to ensure the dish wouldn’t be dry-this is optional, depending on the type of bread used
After putting the bread cubes, butter and blueberries in the baking dish, mix the cream cheese with the eggs, milk and sugar and pour overall
Let sit for at least 1 hour to allow bread to soak up milk mixture, or refrigerate overnight
That’s it!
Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until bubbly and set

Jenna, I wish I could help myself to a serving of your blueberry bread pudding this morning! I have a hard time resisting any kind of baked French toast or bread pudding and the cream cheese and blueberries are a favorite combination!
Sounds like a nice treat:@)
I would love a serving of your blueberry pudding to go with my morning coffee i’m enjoying now. We love blueberries here so I will have to make this. Thanks for the recipe. I popped over to visit the birthday party, wow y’all had a great party. Love all the fun decorations. Wishing T a very Happy Birthday…………
Thanks Emily, we had a fun time! This recipe is a definite keeper, it’s so easy with a zillion ways to change it up- >
Anything made with blueberries has to be good!
Looks delicious. I know my family would like this recipe. I don’t have a Trader Joe’s nearby but I will look for those shortcake biscuits.They had something similar in our hotel room on the coffee and tea tray and I loved them.
This dish looks so good Jenna! I saw this recipe too and want to try it our sometime.
Thanks for sharing at C&C with J&J!
Enjoy the week.

thanks Julie! >
Jenna, This sounds delicious!!! I am definitely making this for guests next week! I love a coffee cake type breakfast dish, especially one that can be prepared ahead and just popped into the oven. Blueberries and cream cheese are perfect together and your birthday celebrators are certainly lucky to have you to help them indulge! Linda
Thanks Linda, this has endless possibilities and is so easy to make ahead! >
Fudge, I was just at Trader Joes too. This looks divine.
Thanks Laurie, I was there yesterday and didn’t see the shortcake biscuits, I’m afraid they are seasonal, but any bread would work- if the bread you use is not very dense, just use more bread so you’ll have plenty to soak up the liquid >
Yum! Your food images always make my mouth water. This looks delicious and not too much trouble to make. Thank you for sharing it, Jenna.
thanks Laurie! >
Jenna, I have always loved bread pudding and with cream cheese..,oh my it has to be delicious!
This was really good and so easy! >
Yum-o, as Rachel Ray would say. This looks so good! I have blueberries in the freezer that need to be eaten. This is a perfect way to “get rid of them”. Thanks!
Ha! Yes this is yum-o, I can’t wait to try some other versions >
Well doesn’t this look delicious! YUM!
