👩‍🍳 How to Make Blueberry French Toast:

🔹 Step 1: Prepare the Blueberry Sauce

  1. In a small saucepan, add blueberries, sugar (or honey), water, and lemon zest.

  2. Cook on low heat for 5-7 minutes until the berries soften and the sauce thickens slightly.

  3. Remove from heat and keep warm.

🔹 Step 2: Make the Egg Mixture

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar.

  2. Dip each bread slice into the mixture, letting it soak for 5-10 seconds per side.

🔹 Step 3: Toast Time!

  1. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and melt the butter.

  2. Cook the soaked bread slices for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

🔹 Step 4: Assemble & Serve

  1. Stack your French toast slices on a plate.

  2. Spoon warm blueberry sauce over the top.

  3. Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, or add a dollop of whipped cream.

❤️ Personal Touch:

Blueberry French Toast is like a warm hug on a plate. It’s one of those “treat yourself” breakfasts that feels fancy, but is so easy to make at home. I love making this on Sundays while the house smells like vanilla and cinnamon — it always brings smiles to the table 😊

💡 Tips & Variations:

  • Don’t have blueberries? Use strawberries, raspberries, or even banana slices.

  • Add a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture for extra warmth.

  • For dairy-free: use almond or oat milk and vegan butter.
