This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to my usual French toast recipe.

This was a great way to use up some leftover blueberries. I also added some chopped walnuts for extra crunch.

I'm not a huge fan of blueberries, but I still really enjoyed this French toast. The mascarpone filling was amazing.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The French toast was a little dry and the mascarpone filling was a bit too sweet for my taste.
