The Ingredients

Bread. I used sourdough bread to make this delicious French toast casserole. It’s sturdy, flavorful, and worked perfectly for this recipe.

Blueberries. The sweetness of blueberries works perfectly with French toast, and they add beautiful color to the dish. Plus, blueberries are packed with antioxidants and vitamins.

Eggs. I’m picky about the texture of my French toast. This one has enough eggs to taste rich and creamy, but not so many that it tastes overly “eggy.”Milk. I chose to use vanilla almond milk because its flavor paired fabulously with the other ingredients in this recipe, but you can use any milk you have on hand. Maple Syrup. To naturally sweeten this French toast casserole, I used a modest amount of pure maple syrup. Divine! Be sure to use the real-deal, not imitation. Lemon Juice + Zest. The touch of lemon is fresh and lively, and it makes the lemon blueberry French toast casserole feel especially vibrant.Vanilla + Cinnamon. Two French toast non-negotiables! They add the warmth and coziness that makes French toast especially craveable . Toppings. Serve your casserole with maple syrup, keep it simple with a light dusting of powdered sugar, or avoid the decision altogether and douse it with both. For an extra special twist, try blueberry French toast casserole cream cheese frosting style (the frosting in this Pumpkin Sheet Cake would work well).
