Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Bread (preferably brioche or challah)
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- optional Maple syrup (for serving)
- optional Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture into a shallow dish or a pie pan to make it easier to coat the bread slices.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
Dip a slice of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly but not soaking it for too long.
Place the soaked bread slice onto the hot skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Once the French toast slices are cooked, transfer them to a serving platter. Sprinkle fresh blueberries over the top.
Serve the Blueberry French Toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup and a light dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
