Serves 6

11⁄2 cups milk
2 eggs
1⁄8 cup blackstrap molasses
1⁄3 cup sugar
1 small piece ginger, peeled and minced
1⁄2 baguette (ideally stale), cut into cubes
1⁄2 cup fresh blueberries
2 Tbs. unsalted butter, plus more to grease the pan
powdered sugar for garnish


Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease an 8-inch pie plate with butter.

In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, eggs and molasses. Gently stir in sugar and ginger until well incorporated. Add bread and allow to soak for 5-10 minutes, until most of the liquid has been absorbed.

Use a spatula to scrape the bread mixture into the greased pie plate. Sprinkle with the blueberries and dot with butter. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.

Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar and serving.
