Ingredients
French Toast
- 1 loaf Brioche or challah Bread
- ⅓ cup Blueberries
- 5 whole Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- ½ cup Heavy Cream
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- ¼ cup Maple syrup
Brown Sugar Streusel
- ½ cup Brown sugar
- ½ cup flour
- 1 stick Butter
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
- ½ tsp Salt
Instructions
- Prepare the bread, tearing it into large pieces. Prepare the custard by adding the eggs, heavy cream, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and maple syrup to a large bowl and whisk well, until combined. Sprinkle the blueberries evenly around the bread and pour the custard evenly over the torn bread. Cover the dish and store it in the refrigerator overnight or until you are ready to cook.
- You can make the streusel topping the night before as well by mixing the softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a medium size bowl. Using your hands, break up the butter and mix well. The mixture should resemble coarse sand. Cover the bowl and store in the refrigerator overnight or until you are ready to cook.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Take out the French toast and sprinkle the struggle, evenly on top. Cook the French toast for 45 minutes. Allow the French toast to cool for at least 10 minutes before you cut into it and serve. You can serve the overnight blueberry cinnamon French toast warm with syrup. Enjoy!
Notes
You want the bread to be slightly stale, so that it does not get soggy when you pour the custard over it. If you prefer a sweeter French toast, feel free to add sugar in place of or in addition to the maple syrup.
