French Toast: Baked Blueberry Lemon
French Toast: Baked Blueberry Lemon
by Lishka DeVoss
Put together the night before baking.
INGREDIENTS
INDIVIDUALLY (ready to use):
Unsalted butter (for coating the pan)
4 (1/2-inch thick) slices crusty whole-grain bread, quartered
1 cup fresh blueberries
1/4 cup sliced almonds (optional)
BOWL (whisked together):
1 and 1/4 cup milk (any kind)
3 large eggs
2 tbsp maple syrup, plus more for serving
1/2 tbsp finely grated lemon zest
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
PREPARATION
1. Coat thick 8x8 baking dish with butter.
2. Dip bread pieces one at a time into BOWL then place each into baking dish, overlapping pieces into a shingle-like formation. Pour the remaining BOWL evenly over the bread and scatter blueberries on top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
3. When ready to bake, position rack in middle of oven and preheat to 350ºF.
4. Uncover baking dish, scatter almonds on top (if using) and bake — 50 to 60 minutes, until golden and puffed with the berries becoming dark and nearly bursting. Serve hot, with additional maple syrup on the side.
