Ingredients

1 (1-pound) loaf cinnamon-raisin bread, sliced
6 large eggs
1 cup 2% milk or half-and-half
2 tablespoons maple syrup, plus more, to taste, for serving
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
2 cups fresh blueberries, divided

Directions

Step 1 -Preheat the grill to low heat, alternatively preheat an oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2 -Place two 18x24-inch pieces of heavy-duty foil on top of each other and grease the top layer.

Step 3 -Arrange the bread slices on the greased side of the prepared foil.

Step 4 -Bring both layers of the foil up the sides of the bread slices but leave the top open.

Step 5 -In a large bowl, add the eggs, the milk, 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup, and the vanilla extract and whisk to combine.

Step 6 -Evenly pour the egg mixture over the bread slices and sprinkle with the pecans and 1 cup of the blueberries.

Step 7 -Fold the edges of the foil over the top of the French toast mixture and crimp to seal.

Step 8 -Transfer the foil packet to the grill and cook until the eggs are cooked through, about 30-40 minutes. If using the oven, place the foil packet on a baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until heated through.

Step 9 -Transfer the foil packet to a wire rack and let it stand, about 10 minutes.

Step 10 -Evenly sprinkle the French toast with the remaining blueberries.

Step 11 -Serve the French toast with the extra maple syrup.
