This Maple Blueberry French Toast Bake is a crowd-pleasing variation of French Toast from our cookbook, What’s for Lunch?. Instead of dipping individual slices of bread into an egg mixture and frying them, we bake up a pan full of bread cubes with a delicious maple custard mixture and blueberries. If you don’t have blueberries, substitute cranberries or diced apples, or whisk 1 cup mashed squash or pumpkin in with the egg mixture!
Step 1: Prep your workstation.
You are going to need a clean counter top surface or bowl, rolling pin, measuring cup, fork, and a sharp knife or pasta cutter.
Tip for success: if working with younger participants or beginners, you may want to use a mixing bowl rather than a flat counter space to limit mess and clean up.
