Ingredients
- Bread (thick slices)
- Eggs
- Milk
- Blueberries
- Bacon
- Vanilla extract
- Maple syrup
- Butter
Instructions
- Prepare the bacon by cooking it in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp and golden brown. Once cooked, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease and then crumble into small pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined and smooth.
- Preheat a griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a pat of butter to coat the cooking surface.
- Dip each thick bread slice into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated but not soaked through.
- Place the coated bread slices onto the heated, buttered surface and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- As the French toast cooks, sprinkle fresh blueberries and crumbled bacon pieces over the top of each slice.
- Transfer the cooked French toast to serving plates and drizzle generously with warm maple syrup.
- Garnish with additional fresh blueberries and crumbled bacon on top for extra flavor and presentation.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the delightful combination of sweet blueberries, crispy bacon, and rich maple syrup.
Tips
- Choose thick-cut bread like brioche or challah for the best texture and absorption of the egg mixture.
- Ensure your bacon is extra crispy before crumbling to add maximum crunch to the dish.
- Don't oversoak your bread - a quick dip is enough to prevent soggy French toast.
- Cook on medium heat to achieve a perfect golden-brown color without burning.
- Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the most intense flavor and juiciest results.
- Warm your maple syrup before serving to enhance its smooth, rich taste.
- For an extra indulgent touch, dust with powdered sugar or add a dollop of whipped cream.
