Great for Sunday Brunch!! Make extra syrup, that was soooo good! -
A friend made this recipe for brunch, and we loved it and I asked for the recipe. She also added 1 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp cinnamon to the french toast. Those two additions were awesome. We liked it so much I made it last weekend, halving the recipe since it was for just 3 people. DH plans to use the leftover blueberry syrup over ice cream tonight. Thanks so much for posting this recipe. -
I actually thought this was very good. I used a whole loaf of Texas toast. I did cook it about 1 hour and 25 minuted. It was perfect. The topping is AWESOME! It makes a lot so you could scale it down. Super easy recipe. Will make again. -
I hate to be the one to go against the all these rave reviews, but this was not a hit at our house. It was soggy and bland with a weird texture, and the ingredients did not meld well together. User error? Maybe, but I won't be making this one again - it was a waste of good ingredients for us. -
I know making this with frozen berries would still be great, but the blueberries, right now, are outstanding, as was this breakfast made with them! And, instead of the white bread, I used a very hearty whole wheat & it made for some GREAT TASTING FRENCH TOAST! Thanks for the post! [Tgged, made & reviewed in All New Zaar Cookbooks tag]

Yet another feature change that has made the website less user friendly. It's sad to watch a fantastic site deteriorate over the years. Some of my recipes are on my blog.
