Baked Blueberry French Toast

November 30, 2019 by Liza Agbanlog Leave a Comment

I made baked French toast for breakfast in the past and it was a hit with my family. I decided to take this delicious breakfast favorite to the next level by adding a fruit. That is how this baked blueberry french toast dish was created.

What kind of bread to use

White bread is normally used to make baked French toast. Others have used Texas toast, which is thicker than the normal white bread. I was planning to use Texas toast but my youngest son, whom I asked to buy it for me, could not find any. He bought white sourdough bread instead.

How to make baked french toast

Classic French toast is made of slices of bread soaked in a mixture of eggs and milk and then fried. This baked blueberry French toast differs from the classic version because it is made of layers of cubed bread, cream cheese, blueberries and then more cubed bread. The bread is soaked overnight in a mixture of eggs, milk, cinnamon and maple syrup. The soaked pieces of bread are then baked the next morning for 45 minutes. You can serve this delicious fruity dish on the weekend for breakfast or even for brunch. You can serve it with more fresh berries or other fruit. The French toast came out nice and toasty at the top when it came out of the oven. The filling was sweet and had a pleasant taste to it. I served this decadent treat with a drizzle of maple syrup. It was delicious!
