French Toast Bake

Here’s another dish I’ve been making for my family for years.  It’s tried and true and scrumptious!

Topped with blueberries and pecans it’s the perfect dish for breakfast and brunch!

I made this YouTube video to show you just how easy it is to put together the night before.  Take a look how easy it is!

Recipe:

12 slices day-old French Bread ( 1 inch thick)
5 eggs
2 1/2 cups milk
1 cup packed brown sugar, divided
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

– Arrange bread in a greased 13X9 baking dish.  In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, 3/4 cup brown sugar, vanilla and nutmeg: pour over bread.  Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.

– Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.  Sprinkle pecans over egg mixture.  Combine butter and remaining sugar; drizzle over the top.

– Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 25 minutes.  Sprinkle with blueberries.  Bake 10 minutes longer or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
