Blueberry Muffin French Toast

Rise and Shine
After working as a Trauma Nurse for 18 years I became a Restaurant Owner.
Life is complicated and sometimes very confusing. Sometimes we think we have everything figured out and everything is going perfectly, and then WHAM, something shows up that throws everything out of kilter and we feel dizzy, disoriented and afraid.
 Remember, that you have been here before and you found your way out, in fact, if you really think about it, somehow and from somewhere, you were most likely carried out of it on the wings of a force of love from somewhere. Either way, you made it to the other side, and you will make it again. 
And even though it may feel like a step backwards, it’s really still a step forward. You will be wiser, more equipped, and a better person for it. Someday, you may feel very profoundly grateful for this very moment in your life and all that it taught you. 
Keep the faith, keep going, you can do this. It will be worth it. brave girls club 2010

I have been entrusted with a mission, discover the labors and genuine cooking talents of women before me. Share as many of those ideas as possible with my community and within my own little world. Then learn from my community and those in my own world.

As the granddaughter of a homesteader I realize cooks in many countries use the same method for reviving day old bread: Dip it in eggs and cream or milk then panfry. My blueberry muffin french toast is a descendant of pain perdu (literally “lost bread) I learned to waste not. A farm wife’s philosophy born out of necessity.

  1. I love Chaps! I live in CA but MAKE my mom go to Chaps every time I visit her in Spokane…not that she complains. Of course the blueberry muffin french toast is one of our favorites. My only question about the recipe is if the piece of “toast” is dipped in the eggs/milk and panfried just like french toast or served as is?

  2. I LOVE blueberries! This looks absolutely amazing!

  3. I too LOVE blueberries and I’m dying to try this recipe :)

  4. I saw Chaps profiled on Food Network and have been dying to make this ever since. Thank you!

  5. Soooo good!

    Christi - I just saw this on the Food Network, they dipped it in a egg wash and panfried it. Hope it helps!

  6. Your are very gracious in sharing your recipe with us. I am so excited to try it!

  7. Hello,

    I try to make this cake but as I am french, I wonder if “c” means “cup” or something else? It is not clear for me ! Otherwise, 6 cups of flour seems a lot to me !
    Thanks
