Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Thick-sliced bread (e.g., brioche or challah)
- 3 Large eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1.5 cups Fresh or frozen blueberries
- 0.5 cup Pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt completely.
Dip a slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated but not overly soaked. Place the coated bread on the skillet. Repeat with 2 more slices, adding them to the skillet.
Cook the bread for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, maple syrup, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to simmer and the blueberries start to burst. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and let the blueberry syrup simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
To serve, place two slices of French toast on each plate. Drizzle generously with the warm blueberry maple syrup and sprinkle powdered sugar on top, if desired.
Enjoy your Blueberry Maple Syrup French Toast while it’s warm!
