Can this be made ahead?

It sure can! I would suggest storing it in the fridge, and letting it come to room temperature before serving it up. Oh, and watch out for blueberry cobbler pilferers!

Can I use a different kind of fruit?

I've actually made this with peaches, and with a mixture of peaches and blueberries. So the answer is 100% yes!

How do I zest a lemon again?

Lemon zest (along with lime and orange) is the very fine shavings you get when you run a microplane zester over the skin. It lends a lovely citrus flavor to whatever you are baking up.

Have a question I didn't cover?

Leave it for me in the comments and I will get back to you pronto!

Notes

Blueberries: If there is anything you need to know about finding/storing/prepping those glorious blueberries, I have a Blueberry Guide for you right here!

Milk: Whole milk or lowfat milk will work just fine. Skip the skim milk though.

Butter: We tend to use salted butter in all our cooking, but unsalted will work just fine as well.
