Steps:
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
- In a large shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, liqueur, and a large pinch of salt. Add 4 slices of bread in a single layer, turning to coat, soaking about 1 minute per side.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lift bread from egg mixture, allowing excess to drain off. Cook, undisturbed, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until golden, 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with a wire rack. Soak and cook remaining slices of bread. Place French toast in oven to keep warm. Reserve skillet.
- Return skillet to medium-high heat; melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Add blueberries, maple syrup, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Boil until thickened slightly and berries start to burst, about 5 minutes. Serve warm with French toast.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, plump blueberries for the best flavor and texture.
- To prevent the blueberries from bursting and bleeding into the batter, toss them with a little flour before adding them to the mixture.
- If you don't have a griddle, you can cook the French toast in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the griddle or skillet, or the French toast will not cook evenly.
- Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
Blueberry French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It is a great way to use up leftover blueberries, and it can be customized to your liking with different toppings and sides. Whether you like it simple or topped with all the fixings, blueberry French toast is sure to please everyone at the table.
