1.5 cups of blueberries

1/2 cup sugar

mise en place

french toast
2 eggs

1/4 cup of cream

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

pinch of salt

4 slices of day old baguette cut 1 inch thick (i'm also using left over king's hawaiian bread)

2 tablespoons of butter

powdered sugar for dusting

whisk the first four ingredients in a shallow bowl. place the bread slices, into the bowl, allowing the slices to soak up the egg mixture for a few seconds, then turn to coat the other side.

heat a griddle to medium heat and place one tablespoon of butter for each slice of bread. cook each side until golden brown, about 2-3 mins each side.

dust with powdered sugar and serve with blueberry sauce (or maple syrup)

bon appétit~!
