Instructions
Make the French toast:
- Grease a 13-by-9-inch or similarly sized baking pan.
- Place the bread cubes in the prepared pan. In a large bowl, whisk together all the remaining ingredients until very well combined. Pour half of the egg-milk mixture over the bread and stir to moisten.
- Top with the remaining egg-milk mixture to cover completely. Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Bake uncovered for 40 minutes, or until golden brown.
Make the sauce:
- While the French toast is baking, combine the sugar, cornstarch, 3/4 cup water, and the lemon juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the blueberries and continue to boil, stirring often, until the syrup thickens and the blueberries begin to burst. Keep warm until ready to use.*
Notes
- * The lemon blueberry topping can be made, cooled, covered, and refrigerated for a few days. Just rewarm when ready to serve!
