Directions
Baked Blueberry Pecan French Toast With Blueberry Syrup, Delicious, easy-to-assemble and very pretty to look at – great for special occasions It’s a little more like bread pudding than traditional French toast Can be assembled and the blueberry syrup made the day before serving The next morning, simply bake the French toast and reheat the syrup before serving Comes from the Junior League Celebrate the Rain cookbook Note prep time does not include letting it rest in the fridge overnight Use freshly ground nutmeg if you can (ground is OK too) and you can use fresh or frozen blueberries, your choice , Made this for a frou-frou brunch It was a huge hit! Beautiful to look at and yummy to eat! Made as directed let set in fridge overnight and baked the next morning used fresh blueberries and doubled the syrup ’cause it was soooooo good! I did break my toasted pecans into large pieces instead of halves Easy to assemble and served with a side of turkey sausage Will definitely serve this again proudly!, Easy and DELICIOUS!!!
