1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries
10 eggs
1/3-cup maple syrup

Place plastic wrap over dish and refrigerate overnight.

Bake the "French toast," covered with foil, in the middle of a preheated 350 degree F. oven for 30 minutes, remove the foil, and bake the French toast for 30 minutes more, or until it is puffed and golden.

2 tablespoons corn starch
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (added to the recipe one cup at a time--see instructions) 1-tablespoon butter To make the sauce:

Cook the water, cornstarch, sugar, and 1 cup blueberries until it thickens. Then, add one more cup of blueberries and the butter. Pour over individual pieces, slice and twist a lemon slice over the top for garnish, and serve.
