BAKED BLUEBERRY-PECAN FRENCH TOAST WITH BLUEBERRY SYRUP
You don't have to be in the kitchen at the crack of dawn to prepare a terrific breakfast. In this recipe the French toast is soaked overnight like bread pudding - in the morning all you need to do is add the topping and pop it in the oven. Serve it with coffee, juice, and fresh fruit and you've got a well-rounded way to start the day.

Steps:
- Butter a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Cut twenty 1-inch slices from baguette and arrange in one layer in baking dish.
- In a large bowl whisk together eggs, milk, nutmeg, vanilla, and 3/4 cup brown sugar and pour evenly over bread. Chill mixture, covered, until all liquid is absorbed by bread, at least 8 hours, and up to 1 day.

- Sprinkle pecans and blueberries evenly over bread mixture. Cut 1/2 stick butter into pieces and in a small saucepan heat with remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar, stirring, until butter is melted.
- Drizzle butter mixture over bread and bake mixture 35 minutes, or until any liquid from blueberries is bubbling.
- Blueberry Syrup:.
- In a small saucepan cook blueberries and maple syrup over moderate heat until berries have burst, about 3 minutes.
- Pour syrup through a sieve into a heatproof pitcher, pressing on solids, and stir in lemon juice.
- Syrup may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat syrup before serving.
