The weekend is coming up and so is Mother’s day. I have always loved Mother’s we always relax and eat some really good food and I get to see all my wonderful family. Mothers, grandmother, and great grandmothers are honored on Mother’s day in our family.
We always plan a real fest with this amazing blueberry french toast bake. It’s so easy to throw together and everyone always dives right in and devoured this fruity dish. I love the bites of blueberry mixed in with the delight warm cinnamon flavored bread and delightful maple syrup.
How to make french toast bake?
Just start by pre-heating your oven to 365 degrees and grabbing a large mixing bowl. In a large bowl mix eggs, milk, spices, and vanilla well. Place cubed bread into the egg mixture and stir. Make sure all the bread is soaked. Lightly coat a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
Place a layer of bread cubes evenly into the baking dish.
Top with blueberries in an even layer, repeating 2 more times and ending with a layer of bread. Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place into oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve immediately, sprinkled with confectioners’ sugar and maple syrup, enjoy!
When are blueberries in season?
Blueberries will be ready for picking in late July to mid-August. Don’t rush to pick the berries as soon as they turn blue. Wait a couple of days. When they are ready, they should fall off right into your hand.
