Baked French Toast With Blueberries

Submitted by Quaffle

"My mother's favorite meal is brunch and this is the reason why. We makes this recipe several times a year, and it freezes great. This can be made without the blueberries for picky eaters, as that was how I liked it when I was young. Note: don't ruin it by putting on syrup--it is fantastic just the way it is. Also, prep times includes the overnight refrigeration."

Just made this today...it went over GREAT!!!! Everyone loved it! I didn't use French Bread, I made a loaf of white batter bread fresh to use for it. Next time though, I think I'll use half of a loaf or two pans to have it bake a little more even. With this being so easy, I'm definatly going to make this a go-to recipe for when we have company over night!
