The original recipe for this French toast called for heavy cream and whole eggs, but Nancy Argo of Uniontown, Ohio joined with our Test Kitchen to lighten it up and still keep the delicious taste.

This was fantastic and I'm not a french toast fan (there's something about soggy bread that turns me off). We store our bread in the freezer and I did not thaw the loaf before using it. I think that helped it be a little less soggy. I had some extra pieces of bread that would not fit in the pan, so I cooked them on the stovetop and reserved some of the blueberry syrup from the pan for leftovers tomorrow.

This was easy and delicious. I made it for Father's Day and it was a big hit with everyone. I used blackberries instead of blueberries because I had some in the freezer and they were very good.

This recipe was a big hit with my son and daughter-in-law when they visited. They are both great cooks, so I'm always looking for delicious breakfast food for them.

This was not very good. The bottom of the bread remained very soggy and never seemed like it ever cooked. Maybe turning the bread over after one side is done would help?? The blueberry sauce is good, but other than that my husband and I will not be making this again.

This is fabulous! Everyone loved it. I didn't have egg substitute on hand and used regular eggs, so not quite as healthy, but quite delicious (and easy to make)
