On the list of the best Target bakery items, there's a loaf of bread that's unexpected and delicious in a way that is wholly unique. The baked goods available at regular Target locations tend to be limited to commonplace favorites like these elegant, bite-sized lemon poppy seed scones. We, therefore, weren't prepared for the flavor explosion that was the retailer's Favorite Day Blueberry Streusel Breakfast Bread. This slightly-sweet loaf is studded with juicy blueberry pieces and scattered on the crust with a streusel topping. According to the reviews, the breakfast bread tastes as good as it looks.
"This is by far the best bread ever. [P]erfectly soft and just sweet enough to be a breakfast or dinner bread," one satisfied customer raved. "Just Wow!" enthused another. "This bread is a reason to be at target every other week! Whaaaaatttttt!!!" One buyer commented on the bread being a rare find in their area, along with a serving suggestion: "I was overjoyed to see that this bread is back! It's very hard to find but if you can get some, I recommend trying it toasted with butter. Goes great with coffee!" According to yet another commenter's notes, it's delicious for everyone in the house: "My entire family loves this bread. We toast it or eat it fresh with a little butter."
We're excited about the possibilities for this bread
The obvious application for the blueberry breakfast bread is some truly killer French toast. No matter how you like to prepare it — we advocate vanilla pudding mix as the secret ingredient – battering and frying this very special bread will produce French toast that tastes like you ordered it from a fancy bistro. Add some real maple syrup and some homemade whipped cream, and you have a brunch dish for Mother's Day that will make the special lady in your life extra happy she has you around.
But hear us out... how about using this "breakfast bread" for something lunch-y? We're talking grilled cheese! With a creamy, slightly-stinky fromage like goat cheese, Swiss, Gruyère, or sharp cheddar, the blueberries in the bread would really sing. We're even thinking that a whole grain, slightly spicy mustard would take things over the top. On that note — why not swap out your usual loaf for this blueberry bread in a salty, cheesy, melty croque monsieur or croque madame brunch sandwich?
Don't be afraid, either, to use this loaf in a sumptuous bread pudding. Especially if you have some that's past its "best use" date (not that we think you'd let it get to that point!), you can break it up with your hands, throw an egg custard in a ramekin with the pieces, and bake up a gorgeous dessert that will delight your loved ones. Did someone say "lemon-creme drizzle and powdered sugar on top?" Our mouths are watering!
