Overnight Blueberry French Toast

Breakfast

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
I just have to start of by thanking you for your patience with us. I feel like we’ve been so sporadic in our recipe sharing that if I were you, I’d want to strangle us! Thanks friends. Second, this Overnight Blueberry French Toast is absolutely amazing! I struggle with finding good breakfast recipes that are quick and easy, but this one definitely did not disappoint. As I was eating it this morning {it makes for great leftovers!}, I thought to myself that it’s a wonder that I even like blueberries. My family lived in Texas for a few short years growing up and every year we would venture over to this ginormous blueberry patch that was just outside of town. My little brother and sister and I would pick blueberries all. day. long. {I think we actually ate more than we picked} and we’d have blueberries at our house for months to come. We’d eat them plain, we would freeze them, we’d make them into jam, we did all kinds of things with them. And despite the couple bouts of the runs they gave us, we still hold the taste of them near and dear to our hearts. 😉


This recipe was found at Ask Chef’s and I kid you not, it is the greatest thing since sliced bread…maybe because it has sliced bread in it…who knows. Anyway, you’ll want to try this ASAP!

    This was very easy to make, but I had to add an extra 35 minutes of baking as the middle was extremely runny after the full hour.

    I want to make this tomorrow for some out of town guests. The written directions call for water however the list of ingredients does not include water. So, how much water is needed?
