Really good recipe, family approved. They say I can make it any time, lol. I did make a few changes. I never make french toast without spices so I added 1/2 tsp each of cinnamon and nutmeg. Also in step 2 when it has you pour half of the mixture over the first layer I dipped them in the mixture and let them stay long enough to soak it in. Then I put some Blueberries on top of them when I put them in the pan. I did the same on the next layer, dipping them, then putting them on top of the ones in the pan, then I poured the remaining mixture over top. I followed the rest of the recipe but I think next time I'll put some cinnamon in the topping to and make it 3 cups of blueberries. We Love blueberries. I'll be making this again for sure.

My husband loves anything with blueberries, and he loved this! It looked beautiful and tasted amazing. I sprinkled cinnamon sugar on top before baking. Next time I might try putting blueberries on top of bread layers before topping with streusel and nuts, so that the berries are incorporated into the dish more. Easy, delicious-definitely will make again!

I love this recipe - it was so easy and I did use fresh blueberries, they are in season but I did use pecans cause that is what I had on hand. It is the best when it is warm out of the oven, but still delicious when used the next day.

What a great recipe, not only easy, but tasty too. My family agreed that this is a keeper and we should make it again. I used Texas toast and a combination of raspberries and blueberries, as that was what I had on hand. When I make it again, I will trim the crusts off the bread, as it was a little chewy to cut and the crusts did not reheat well. We original thought this recipe would have been better as a bread pudding/fruit cobbler served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, as it is plenty sweet with the cobbler like opping. But, it was actually better as submitted and best with blueberries only.

What a delicious breakfast bake! I cut the recipe in half for the two of us and omitted the nuts (we're not fans!) It was easy to prepare, absolutely delicious, and something I will definitely make again!

Delicious, decadent brunch dish! I substituted milk for cream, and also used strawberries instead of blueberries because that is what I had. I will make it again with blueberries.

I made this bake this afternoon and I totally agree with MarineMom_texas that this recipe is very much of a winner! The only thing I changed was to use 2 8-oz. French baguettes, cut in 1" slices since my supermarket did not have regular French bread. I had 2 helpings tonight for "brinner"! delowenstein, Volunteer Field Editor

We had this delicious breakfast bake this morning and it is a definite winner. It is not only easy to prepare but absolutely delicious. I did halve it for the two of us and used Splenda brown sugar. I do recommend softening the butter before cutting it into the topping. This would be delicious for company as well. I highly recommend this recipe.Volunteer Field Editor
