Steps:
- Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with butter.

- Keep the rolls intact and slice across the equator to create 1 large top and 1 large bottom roll. Place the bottom roll in the baking dish, then spread with 2 tablespoons of the maple butter. Sprinkle with the lemon zest and half of the blueberries and top with the top roll.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, cream, sugar, eggs, remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste and a pinch of salt. Pour the mixture over the rolls. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the foil, then continue to bake until golden brown, about 10 more minutes.

BLUEBERRY-ALMOND FRENCH TOAST BAKE
Great breakfast to feed a group and loaded with protein and whole grains! Make ahead the night before, then pop in the oven before everyone gets up. I made this French toast bake for our group during a winter weekend of snowboarding. I just wish I had made two batches. It went fast! Serve with extra maple syrup and sausage on the side for a heartier meal.
