How To Make blueberry baked french toast

Step 1

Arrange bread in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. In a bowl, combine the eggs, milk, 3/4 cup brown sugar,vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon, pour over bread. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.

Step 2

Remove from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before baking (best if casserole is close to room tempeture). Sprinkle pecans over egg mixture. Combine butter and remaining sugar; drizzle over the top. Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with blueberries. Bake 10 minutes longer or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Step 3

Serve plain or with warm syrup.
