My friend Anne made this delicious Blueberry Stuffed French Toast for my family this summer. I love french toast and I love breakfast dishes, but I don’t enjoy making breakfast. I’m not a get up and go morning person (just ask my husband). I’m more of a lounge in my pajamas, drink coffee, journal, read and then eat breakfast about an hour later. I love when other people make me breakfast. I read recently that September is Breakfast Month so I thought it would be a great time to post this recipe. Thanks for sharing this Blueberry Stuffed French Toast from Taste of Home with me Anne.
Starting last year I began finding great joy in making breakfast for my family. I find waking up to the smell of something cooking such a comfort, that I wanted to provide that for my family. (FYI not everyday, by any means! But once a week will suffice!) The other days cereal and toaster waffles will have to do!
The French toast recipe I am sharing is one my daughter selected for me to try. She was pleased with the results. Hope you will be too!

Ingredients
- 1½ Cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 3 TBSP sugar, divided
- 8 slices Italian bread (1¼ inch thick)
- 4 eggs
- ½ C orange juice
- Sauce
- ¼ C orange juice
- ¼ C water
- 3 TBSP sugar
- 1 TBSP cornstarch
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 1½ C orange sections
- 1 C fresh or frozen blueberries
- ⅓ cup nuts of your choice, I like chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a small bowl, toss blueberries with 2 TBSP sugar.
- Cut a pocket horizontally in each slice of bread. Fill with berries.
- In another bowl, whisk eggs, orange juice, salt and remaining sugar.
- Dip both sides of bread in the egg mixture, be careful to keep the berries in the pocket!
- Place in a greased 11x14 pan.
- Bake for 14-17 minutes turning once.
- In a small saucepan whisk the first five sauce ingredients until smooth. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, cook and stir 1-2 minutes until thickened. Reduce heat; stir in fruit and heat through. Serve the French toast with sauce and sprinkle with nuts. We like to sprinkle a little powdered sugar on ours too.
