How to Make Baked Blueberry Pecan French Toast With Blueberry Syrup
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and freshly grated nutmeg.
- Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and add them to the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Let the bread soak for at least 15 minutes (longer is better, up to 30 minutes).
- Gently fold in the blueberries, pecans, and butter. Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until golden brown and set. Let cool slightly before serving.
- Meanwhile, prepare the blueberry syrup (recipe below). Reheat gently before serving.
- To make the blueberry syrup: Combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries have softened and released their juices (about 10-15 minutes). Mash some of the berries to thicken the syrup. Strain the syrup if desired for a smoother consistency. Reheat before serving.
