Follow The Directions

01

Step

Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan generously with cooking spray. (2 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Arrange the cubed bread evenly in the prepared baking pan. Pour the egg mixture over the bread, ensuring that all the bread is soaked. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Sprinkle the fresh blueberries evenly over the top of the bread and egg mixture, followed by the sliced almonds and dark brown sugar. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Cover the baking pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the bread to fully absorb the custard. (4+ hours)

06

Step

When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (15 minutes)

07

Step

Remove the plastic wrap from the baking pan and bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the French toast bake is golden brown and set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. (40-50 minutes)

08

Step

Let the baked French toast rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. (5-10 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a touch of lemon zest to the egg mixture.
If you don't have fresh blueberries, frozen blueberries can be used, but be sure to thaw and drain them well before adding them to the bake.
Serve with a drizzle of pure maple syrup and a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate indulgence.
