Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread
- 4 whole eggs
- 4 egg whites
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 ounces fresh blueberries
Topping
- ⅓ cup brown sugar packed
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon butter at room temperature
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Cut the French bread loaf into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and egg whites together. Then, beat in the milk, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
- Add the bread cubes to the custard mixture and toss to coat. Add the blueberry and stir in gently so you don't burst the berries.
- Grease a 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the bread cubes and berries into the prepared dish, then pour any remaining egg mixture over the top.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, butter, and cinnamon until it's crumbly. Sprinkle the streusel evenly all over the french toast.
- Cover the dish with foil and refrigerate overnight or at least 8 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the foil from the dish and bake the french toast for 45 minutes until golden on top.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before cutting into 8 portions and serving warm.
