Blueberry French Toast Bake

It's the perfect dish for a special family breakfast or to serve to your friends at a festive brunch.

• 1 package (16oz.) frozen Safeway SELECT Organic Wild Blueberries
• 1/4 cup Vons SELECT Estate Grown Maple Syrup, plus extra for serving
• 1/3 cup sugar

• 1 Tbs cornstarch
• 4 eggs
• 2/3 cup Lucerne® whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 loaf (16oz.) Vons SELECT Artisan Como bread (oval light sourdough)

Butter or spray a 9x13" casserole dish. Pour frozen blueberries into dish. Stir in syrup, sugar and cornstarch until well blended. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and vanilla. With a serrated knife, cut crusts off bread. Slice bread into 3/4" thick slices. Dip each slice of bread into egg mixture to coat both sides. Place on top of blueberries. Pour any remaining egg mixture over the bread. (Cobbler may be baked immediately or covered and refrigerated overnight.)

Place oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat to 375°. Bake cobbler uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes or until blueberries are bubbling and toast is lightly golden. With a spatula, remove toast to serving plates, spoon blueberries over the top and serve with additional syrup. Serves 4 to 6.
