Overnight Blueberry French Toast Casserole image

I made this for Christmas morning brunch, perfect to put in the oven and go open presents while it bakes. You can top with syrup or whipped cream or nothing at all. I found several different recipes similar to this one, but none had everything I wanted to do with it, so I thought I'd try to make my own. I think it is a very good start, but please, let me know what you think!

Categories     Fruit Breakfast

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 bag(s) cinnamon bread (1 lb.)
1 c milk
2 tsp pure vanilla
6 eggs
2 tsp cinnamon
2 c fresh blueberries (divided)
2 Tbsp real maple syrup
1/2 c pecans chopped (optional)
1/4 c powder sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare campfire or preheat grill to 350 degrees. If you are grilling this you will want to use "indirect" heat. If you have three burners turn the two outside burners on and put this in the middle. Essentially where this is cooking you do not want to have that burner on.
  • 2. Arrange bread slices on greased heavy duty tinfoil, double thickness. You want this to be about 24'' x 18''. Bring foil up on sides to make a "pan".
  • 3. In a small bowl whisk eggs, milk, syrup, cinnamon and vanilla. Pour mixture over the bread. Sprinkle with nuts (optional) I'm a nut lover. My family not so much but if we are doing a ladies brunch or get together I always add pecans. Sprinkle with 1 c. of the blueberries.
  • 4. Place on grill using indirect heat or over campfire on a grill grate. Bake until it is cooked through and the egg is "set". This will take about 30-35 minutes depending on temperature of your campfire or grill. You may want to rotate this if one side is cooking hotter than the other.
  • 5. Remove from grill or campfire and let stand for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining blueberries and serve with additional syrup.
  • 6. If campfire cooking isn't your style or you are camping and it's raining. You can also make this in an oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place foil packet on a large baking sheet and baked for about 30 minutes or until heated through and eggs are "set". Let stand 10 minutes and sprinkle with remaining blueberries. Dust with powder sugar and serve with syrup.

Tips:

  • Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • To make the campfire toast extra crispy, cook it over a hot fire.
  • If you don't have a campfire, you can make this recipe in a regular oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and cook the toast for about 10 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
  • You can also make this recipe in a toaster. Just spread the butter and cinnamon sugar on the bread, and then toast it until it is golden brown.
  • Serve the campfire toast with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, butter, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Blueberry campfire French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch recipe. It is perfect for a camping trip or a lazy weekend morning. The toast is crispy and flavorful, and the blueberries add a sweet and juicy touch. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make this recipe that will be a hit with everyone.
