Blueberry-Cinnamon French Toast

Suggestion for your weekend: make this.

It takes about five minutes total, and is a huge crowd-pleaser for all ages. The key to this recipe: use blueberry bread instead of regular bread (this is Pepperidge Farm Blueberry Swirl bread, which I think is delicious…but my son’s obsession is on another level entirely: he insists on eating it every. single. morning, calls it “my muffin”, and was literally still talking about it as he went to sleep last night).

(Serves 2)

What you need: 

4 slices blueberry bread

2 large eggs

Splash of whole milk

Pinch of cinnamon

Pinch of fresh orange zest

1 tbsp butter

Fresh blueberries

Maple syrup

What you do:

1.  In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Add cinnamon and orange zest and mix lightly.

2. Melt butter in a frying pan (I use a crepe pan because the bottom is flat).

3. Dip both sides of each piece of bread in the egg mixture, letting the egg absorb for a few seconds, then fry in butter until golden-brown.

4. Serve immediately with maple syrup and fresh blueberries.

P.S. When I showed my son the InStyle insert, he was over the fact that it contained a photo of mommy within about half a second, but really, really needed to know why there was a picture of his muffin in a magazine.
