Instructions
for the maple baked French toast:
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs together, then whisk in the milk until well-combined. Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla, and spices.
- Dip the sliced brioche in the custard mixture, letting the bread generously soak up the custard. Gently shake off the excess, and transfer to a lightly greased or parchment paper lined rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then flip and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes, until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve immediately with butter, maple syrup, confectioners sugar, and the saucy blueberries.
for the maple blueberries
- While the French toast is baking, add the blueberries and maple syrup to a medium sauce pot over medium heat.
- Cook, stirring often, until the berries begin to slightly break down and release their juices, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve over the French toast.
Notes
¹ French Brioche can be found in the bakery section of well-stocked grocery stores. Challah is another great choice.
² Fresh or frozen blueberries will work here.
Make it dairy free: Use almond milk or coconut milk, then brush the tops with melted coconut oil instead of butter.
