Provided by lazyme

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 loaf sourdough bread, sliced
0.5 (16 ounce) package frozen blueberries

  • Cut off the crust of each piece of bread, approximately 18 slices. Spray your dish with Pam cooking spray, and layer the bottom of the dish with half of the bread.
  • Cut your cream cheese into one-inch squares and sprinkle over the entire layer of French bread. Take half of the bag of berries and sprinkle over the cream cheese.
  • Add your second layer of bread on top of your cream cheese and berries.
  • Mix the eggs, milk and syrup together in a mixer or with a hand mixer in a large bowl and pour over the top layer of bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight until ready to bake.
  • Bake covered with foil (spray foil with Pam to keep toast from sticking) for about one hour or more in a 375ºF oven. Remove the foil during the last 15 minutes until lightly browned and the top of the bread in the center feels slightly dry.

Just before serving, thicken with a lump-free mixture of cornstarch and a small amount of water. Stir constantly until thickened to desired consistency. The cornstarch reacts to boiling water, add your mixture at the boiling point. Sauce is done when it coats the back of a spoon! This can be done the night before and stored in the refrigerator.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons Chambord or other berry liqueur, optional
Coarse salt
1 loaf challah bread (about 8 ounces), cut into 1-inch slices
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter

1/2 cups grade A maple syrup
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 cups challah bread cubes (cut into 1-inch squares (cinnamon swirl or other sweet eggy breads like brioche are also great))
6 large eggs
3 cups whole milk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen, plus a few additional for topping)
Pure maple syrup for topping (if desired)
Topping
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Spread the bread cubes on a large baking sheet or cutting board and let sit at room temperature to crisp up a bit, at least 1 hour but up to 8.
  • Butter a 9-inch x 12-inch baking dish and add half of the bread cubes (4 cups). Scatter blueberries on top, then add remaining bread.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Pour over the bread cubes and blueberries. Pat gently to help submerge the bread. Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours.
  • To bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small bowl, mix together the 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Remove casserole from refrigerator and uncover. Sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mixture over the top.
  • Bake for 60 - 70 minutes, until golden brown and no longer jiggly. If it begins to brown too much toward the end of baking, cover with a piece of foil.
  • Cut into squares and serve with additional blueberries and maple syrup.

Tips:

  • Use fresh and ripe blueberries for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries. Just thaw them before using.
  • Use a thick slice of bread for the French toast. This will help it hold up to the cooking process.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the French toast. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat. This will help prevent it from burning.
  • Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Blueberry French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast dish. It's perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend brunch. With its sweet and tangy flavor, blueberry French toast is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new breakfast recipe, give blueberry French toast a try.
