BAKED BLUEBERRY-PECAN FRENCH TOAST WITH BLUEBERRY SYRUP

Categories     Breakfast     Brunch     Bake     Kid-Friendly     Mother's Day     Blueberry     Pecan     Summer     Gourmet     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher     Small Plates

Yield Serves 6 generously

Number Of Ingredients 14

a 24-inch baguette
6 large eggs
3 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup pecans (about 3 ounces)
1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups blueberries (about 12 ounces)
For syrup
1 cup blueberries (about 6 ounces)
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Butter a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Cut twenty 1-inch slices from baguette and arrange in one layer in baking dish. In a large bowl whisk together eggs, milk, nutmeg, vanilla, and 3/4 cup brown sugar and pour evenly over bread. Chill mixture, covered, until all liquid is absorbed by bread, at least 8 hours, and up to 1 day.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a shallow baking pan spread pecans evenly and toast in middle of oven until fragrant, about 8 minutes. Toss pecans in pan with 1 teaspoon butter and salt.
  • Increase temperature to 400°F.
  • Sprinkle pecans and blueberries evenly over bread mixture. Cut 1/2 stick butter into pieces and in a small saucepan heat with remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar, stirring, until butter is melted. Drizzle butter mixture over bread and bake mixture 20 minutes, or until any liquid from blueberries is bubbling.
  • Make syrup while French toast is baking:
  • In a small saucepan cook blueberries and maple syrup over moderate heat until berries have burst, about 3 minutes. Pour syrup through a sieve into a heatproof pitcher, pressing on solids, and stir in lemon juice. Syrup may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat syrup before serving.
  • Serve French toast with syrup.

Tips:

  • Use thick-cut bread for a more substantial French toast. Brioche, challah, or French bread are all good choices.
  • Make sure the eggs and milk are well-beaten before dipping the bread. This will help the bread to absorb the custard evenly.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat. This will help to prevent the bread from burning.
  • Flip the French toast only once, when the bottom is golden brown and the top is starting to bubble.
  • Serve the French toast immediately, topped with your favorite toppings. Some popular choices include butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream.

Conclusion:

French toast is a classic breakfast dish that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make French toast that is light, fluffy, and delicious. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give French toast a try.
