I saw this yummy baked blueberry french toast recipe on Christy's Kitchen Creations and knew right away that I would love it. I especially loved that you can prepare it the night before and pop into the oven in the morning.
I changed it up just a bit using cardamon and agave syrup instead of cinnamon and sugar. (I was able to cut the sweetener in half by using agave.) It was so delicious and easy! I liked it even better warmed up the next day. Stop by Christy's and see her beautiful picture. Mine just doesn't do it justice.
Baked Blueberry French Toast
6 slices sourdough French bread, torn
4 eggs
1 cup half-and-half
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cardamon
1/4 cup agave syrup
1-1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
2 cups blueberries
1/4 cup butter, melted
Place bread into a jelly roll pan. In a medium bowl, mix eggs, half-and-half and vanilla together, pour over bread, cover and refrigerate overnight. Combine agave, cardamon, and cornstarch together, fold in blueberries and place in a greased 13"x9" baking pan. Place chilled bread mixture on top of blueberry mixture; drizzle butter over bread. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Barbara,
I love baked french toast. I just made one last week. It's so great to make it the night before and just pop it in the oven the next morning. I like yours with the blueberries in it.
Barbara-I'm thrilled that you tried and liked the french toast!! I also loved it reheated on the second and third day!! ;-)
BTW-I like your picture of the entire dish alot better.

I love this! It looks so tasty and delicious. I tried baked french toast once, but it failed. I will have to try it again:)

Yummm. This looks so good. Anytime I can get a head start on breakfast, I am very pleased. Love the idea of cardamon in this; a nice change from cinnamon.
