Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. It's a bit more time-consuming than I usually like for a weekday breakfast, but it's definitely worth it for a special occasion.

I had some trouble getting the French toast to cook evenly. The middle was still a little bit doughy, even though the outside was golden brown.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I would probably use less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of blueberries, but I actually really enjoyed this recipe. The sweetness of the berries was balanced out by the tartness of the Grand Marnier, and the French toast was cooked perfectly.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a hit with my family. The kids love the blueberries and the adults appreciate the more sophisticated flavor of the Grand Marnier. It's a great way to start a special occasion brunch.

This blueberry stuffed French toast was a delightful treat! The berries added a burst of sweetness and tartness that complemented the fluffy bread perfectly. I especially loved the cinnamon sugar topping, which gave the dish a nice crunch.
