Start your day with a delicious and refreshing breakfast: Blueberry Lemon French Toast with a Zesty Citrus Glaze. This dish combines the sweetness of blueberries and the bright flavors of lemon and citrus for a perfect morning treat.
Ingredients
- 4 slices of thick bread (brioche or challah works well)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
- For the glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons citrus juice (orange or lemon)
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Preparation Steps
Begin by preparing the custard mixture. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Soak each slice of bread in the mixture until well coated.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Cook the soaked bread slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. During cooking, sprinkle blueberries on top of the slices so they soften and release their juices.
Making the Citrus Glaze
In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, citrus juice, and lemon zest. Stir until smooth. Adjust the thickness by adding more juice or powdered sugar as needed.
Serving Suggestions
Place the cooked French toast on plates and drizzle generously with the citrus glaze. Garnish with extra blueberries and a sprinkle of lemon zest for an extra burst of flavor. Serve immediately for a delightful breakfast experience.
