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!
In a bowl, combine the beef, ground oatmeal, salt, pepper, minced onions and optional minced mushrooms. Use your hands to combine thoroughly.
Form the mixture into 6-8 patties.
Heat a large heavy frying pan on medium-high heat. Cook the patties, in batches if necessary, flipping once, until no longer pink in the middle.
Place in the buns with lettuce, tomato, and any toppings.
