For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the egg mixture. If you don't have fresh blueberries, frozen blueberries can be used. Do not thaw before using, and you may need to increase the baking time slightly. The casserole can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance. Just keep it refrigerated until ready to bake. To prevent the top from browning too quickly, tent the casserole with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
