OVERNIGHT BLUEBERRY FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE
I made this for Christmas morning brunch, perfect to put in the oven and go open presents while it bakes. You can top with syrup or whipped cream or nothing at all. I found several different recipes similar to this one, but none had everything I wanted to do with it, so I thought I'd try to make my own. I think it is a very good start, but please, let me know what you think!

BAKED BLUEBERRY PECAN FRENCH TOAST WITH BLUEBERRY SYRUP
Delicious, easy-to-assemble and very pretty to look at - great for special occasions. It's a little more like bread pudding than traditional French toast. Can be assembled and the blueberry syrup made the day before serving. The next morning, simply bake the French toast and reheat the syrup before serving. Comes from the Junior League "Celebrate the Rain" cookbook. Note prep time does not include letting it rest in the fridge overnight. Use freshly ground nutmeg if you can (ground is OK too) and you can use fresh or frozen blueberries, your choice.

BLUEBERRY FRENCH TOAST BAKE
I based this recipe off other French toast casseroles but without all the white sugar most of them called for. The blueberries and maple syrup sweeten it up plenty! Serve with more maple syrup, if desired.

- If you don't have a griddle, you can use a large skillet or frying pan.
- Be sure to heat the griddle or skillet over medium heat before cooking the French toast so that it doesn't burn.
- Cook the French toast in batches if necessary, so that it doesn't overcrowd the griddle or skillet and cook evenly.
- If you like your French toast extra crispy, you can cook it for a few minutes longer on each side.
- Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
