Ingredients

• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Dark rum
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 8 slices Thick slices of brioche or challah bread
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Fresh blueberries
• 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, dark rum, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.

Step 2

Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Step 3

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet, ensuring it coats the cooking surface evenly.

Step 4

Dip each slice of brioche or challah bread into the egg mixture, making sure to soak both sides thoroughly without oversaturating.

Step 5

Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Work in batches if necessary, and add the remaining butter as needed.

Step 6

While the French toast cooks, prepare the blueberry sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.

Step 7

Bring the blueberry mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the blueberries start to break down.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then slowly stir it into the simmering blueberry sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until thickened, then remove from heat.

Step 9

To serve, plate 2 slices of French toast per serving, drizzle with the warm blueberry sauce, and dust with powdered sugar for garnish.

Step 10

Enjoy your Rum Spiced French Toast with Blueberry Sauce for a luxurious breakfast or brunch!
