Overnight Blueberry French Toast Casserole

I made this for Christmas morning brunch, perfect to put in the oven and go open presents while it bakes. You can top with syrup or whipped cream or nothing at all. I found several different recipes similar to this one, but none had everything I wanted to do with it, so I thought I’d try to make my own. I think it is a very good start, but please, let me know what you think!

Eating best breakfast to continue the day had become a good habit. It’s a best way to start my 24 hours off healthfully. The sugar hit from the fruit wakes me up and bring me power to take on the morning. Sugar is often vilified as the root of all disease, but fruit is also loaded with fibre, which is great for your stomach system and make keep you feeling full longer, and less likely grab a side food out of the street food before lunchtime.

Making fruit a at 7.00 clock habit is simple . Simply put the sweetness in your refrigerator next to the milk or on the bench next to your grain bowl , or move your coffee maker or tea kettle — somewhere where you’ll see it. Before you eating the rest of your food , eat your fruit. If you’re not normally a breakfast person.
