Blueberry Pecan French Toast Bake

Here is a wonderful recipe to try that your family will love.

We made it up at the cabin a few weeks ago & it was gobbled up by both adults & kids.  I made it this past weekend & the leftovers were served later in the day with ice cream for dessert.  It is very similar to a bread pudding.

We also made one plain, no nuts or berries  -  equally delicious! 

Ingredients:
5 day old French Bread

5 eggs

2 ½ cups milk

1 cup brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla

½ tsp ground nutmeg

1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)

¼ cup margarine/butter melted

2 cups fresh blueberries

Directions:
-Slice bread 1” thick, arrange into grease 9x13 pan.

-In bowl combine the eggs, milk, ¾ cup brown sugar, vanilla, nutmeg – mix & pour over bread. Cover & refrigerate overnight.

-Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

-Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Sprinkle nuts over egg/bread mixture. Combine butter & remaining brown sugar drizzle over top.

-Bake uncovered for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with blueberries, bake 10 minutes longer or until knife comes out clean.

Pear Bread

What do you do when you have bananas that are about to spoil? Make banana bread.
The same goes for pears.

Ingredients:
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups white sugar
3 eggs
2 1/2 cups pears - peeled, cored and chopped
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease two 8x4 inch loaf pans.
In large mixing bowl combine oil, sugar and eggs, beat well. Stir in pears, pecans and vanilla.

In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Stir dry ingredients into the pear mixture; mix well.

Pour batter into loaf pans and bake for 60 minutes.

Allow loaves to cool in pans for 10 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.

This freezes well too.
