Instructions
- Heat your oven to its lowest temp or 170f and set the rack to the middle level.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, sugar, and vanilla.
- Heat a non-stick pan to medium-low heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Soak 4 pieces of bread in the bowl for at least 30 seconds. Remove bread from the bowl, letting it drip for a bit, and place it into the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden on both sides.
- Place cooked French toast onto a baking sheet and right into the oven to keep warm. Add a bit more butter to the pan and repeat the frying process for subsequent batches.
- When all the pieces are finished cooking, plate and divide the blueberries, and lemon zest. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with some melted butter and maple syrup. Enjoy!
