Fabulous French Toast with Blueberry Syrup

Normally when we make french toast at my house it is just the usual egg, milk, and cinnamon mixture thrown together. Which is good, but this time I decided to jazz things up a bit and try this new recipe. And it's a winner! We make this blueberry syrup recipe frequently around here and the combo of the french toast with this syrup is to die for!


For the syrup, put the sugar and water in a medium pot.
Add in the cornstarch and stir together. Cook until thickened.
Stir in the blueberries.
Simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the butter and stir until it is melted.
Serve over the french toast. This picture will not turn, but you get the idea. It's delicious! In fact, it's spoon-licking good!


Now onto the french toast. Slice the french bread.

Place all ingredients, but the bread, in a large bowl or pan. Whisk together until all ingredients are incorporated.
Dip each slice of bread into the egg/milk mixture, making sure to coat both sides.
Spray the skillet with cooking spray and put the bread on to cook.
Flip the bread over when the under side is golden brown and then cook until the other side is done.
