La Belle Cuisine
Baked
Blueberry-Pecan French Toast
with
Blueberry Syrup
Gourmet June 1999“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.”
A
24-inch baguette
6
large eggs
3
cups whole milk
1/2
teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1
teaspoon vanilla
1
cup packed brown sugar
1
cup pecans (about 3 ounces)
1/2
stick (1/4 cup) plus
1
teaspoon unsalted butter
1/4
teaspoon salt
2
cups blueberries (about 12 ounces)
For
syrup
1
cup blueberries (about 6 ounces)
1/2
cup pure maple syrup
1
tablespoon fresh lemon juice
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.
Preheat
oven to 350 degrees F.
In
a shallow baking pan spread pecans evenly and toast in middle of
oven until
fragrant, about 8 minutes. Toss pecans in pan with 1 tea-
spoon butter and
salt.
Increase
temperature to 400 degrees F.
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 20 minutes, or until any liquid from blue-
berries is bubbling.
Make
syrup while French toast is baking: 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. Serve French toast with syrup. Serves 6
generously.
