Blueberry French Toast Bake

My family LOVES breakfast and especially if it's a "special breakfast"...meaning not the typical everyday cereal.  I can't wait to make this Blueberry French Toast Bake myself.  I had it recently when I was away on a girl's weekend.  It is simply delicious!

2. Oil a baking dish (about 9 x 13), and fill it with the bread.
3. Pour the liquid mixture over the bread and allow it to sit for at least 30 minutes, mixing once or twice to be sure all parts of the bread are moistened.

6. Allow to cool a bit and serve.
