Blueberry French Toast!

Cost: $3

Prep: 20 minutes

Did you guess correctly?

Since it was a lazy Saturday morning followed by a very busy Saturday, I wanted to make something special for breakfast. French toast is Matt's favorite, so this was his vote. I like French toast because you get a serving of protein in as well.

So, I made a pile of toast: 8 pieces which used 4 eggs. If anyone doesn't know how to make French Toast, you must come over, and I will cook it FOR you, and then you will know how.

To make this even more special/delicious, I made us syrup as well. In a pan, I melted a bit of butter then added about 1/3 of a bag of blueberries. I don't particularly like these blueberries. The brand is Europe's Best, and they are "wild blueberries" which seems to just mean super small. Because they are so small, I find that they are not very good for adding to a lot of things, like pancakes for example. I was glad to use them up.

I simmered the blueberries in the butter then added a crap load of brown sugar (as Matt later told me, it was "Golden" sugar, not brown) and some cinnamon. I then simmered until it was thick like syrup.

The sauce was very special, but I found the flavor overpowered the toast. Matt and Charlie really liked it, especially Charlie who mostly picked out he blueberries.

Yum! A special spring break breaky for the whole family.

Raisin bread turned into French toast with lots of cinnamon (and butter and syrup). Three pieces for Dad, and three for Mom and Charlie to share!
