ZZ Blueberry Pecan French Toast

Recipe Added:  11/10/2011
1 French bread baguette
6 large eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 stick + 1 tsp butter
2 cups blueberries, drained
Blueberry Syrup:
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 Tbsp butter
Butter a 9×13 baking dish. Cut loaf into slices and arrange in dish. Whisk together eggs, milk, nutmeg, vanilla, and 1/2 cup brown sugar and pour evenly over the bread. Refrigerate covered, until all liquid is absorbed, 8-24 hours. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 F. Spread pecans evenly in a shallow baking pan and toast in middle of oven until fragrant, about 4 minutes. Toss pecans with 1 tsp butter. Or, toast the pecans in a skillet in one layer over medium heat, stirring often, then toss with 1 tsp butter.

Sprinkle pecans and blueberries evenly over bread mixture. Cut remaining 1/2 stick butter into pieces and heat with remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar in a small saucepan, stirring, until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Drizzle butter mixture over bread and bake mixture 30 – 40 minutes or until any liquid from blueberries is bubbling.
