- 3 large eggs beaten separately

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 13x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine flour and 1 cup of sugar. Add cubed butter, then use your fingers to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Incorporate the beaten eggs and almond extract into the flour mixture until a dough forms. Press evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
- Spread fresh blueberries evenly over the partially baked base and sprinkle with the remaining sugar.
- Whisk remaining eggs in a clean bowl. Pour over the blueberries and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
- Bake for an additional 25 minutes or until the top is golden and set. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
Notes
For a nut-free option, omit the almonds and increase the blueberries. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
