Blueberry Almond French Toast

French toast is one of those "comfort foods" that I feel can be eaten at any time of the day... and at any point in the year.  So, why not eat it for dinner?!

I must be honest...  I used to DESPISE the idea of breakfast for dinner.  Something inside of me has changed.  For me personally, this meal would go OH-SO-WELL with some maple sausage, and I could highly recommend that combination for anyone who loves salty meat with sweet breakfast foods.  I just happened to make this for two bacon lovers.  :) 

Compliment this with some fresh cut fruit, eggs, meat, or even a nice fruit smoothie!  Happy breakfast!  (OR dinner!!!)

Blueberry Almond French Toast
1 loaf challah bread
5 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk (or buttermilk)
1 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Heat skillet on medium heat with about 1 tbls butter.

In a large bowl, whiracact and vanilla extsk together the eggs, milk, almond extracts.  Slice challah bread into 1" slices.  Soak both sides of the toast in the egg mixture for about 20-30 seconds.  Place soaked bread into skillet and cook until lightly browned, about 2-4 minutes, before flipping and browning the other side.

Remove from skillet.  Top with fresh blueberries, slivered almonds, whipped cream, maple syrup... whatever sounds delightful to your taste buds!!
