This was pretty tasty. I used a stale loaf of French Bread from the freezer and added an extra egg to make sure it got soaked in. I got sidetracked and layered this backwards. I buttered the bottom of my dish then ran my bread through the egg mixture, put in the pan then poured the remaining egg mixture over the top. Then I topped with the blueberry mixture, covered and put the whole thing in the fridge until the next morning. It baked up fine and was enjoyed. Thanks for sharing. -
Definitely more than a French toast, & deliciously so, at that! I made but one change in the recipe, as I used a whole grain bread rather than the French bread listed (so I guess it isn't actually French toast, anyway! What the heck ~ The whole thing makes for a wonderful breakfast, & when we have overnight company another time, I'll be having this in the morning! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
