I found that this recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The French toast was golden brown and crispy on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside. The blueberries were plump and juicy, and the mascarpone added a rich and creamy flavor.
