Blueberry Cinnamon Campfire Bread


A neighboring camper made a bread so tempting, I had to ask for the details. Here’s my version, best enjoyed with a steaming cup of coffee by the campfire.

Ingreadient

    • 1 loaf (1 pound) cinnamon-raisin bread, sliced
    • 6 large eggs
    • 1 cup 2% milk or half-and-half cream
    • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
    • 2 cups fresh blueberries, divided

Direction

    1. Prepare campfire or grill for low heat. Arrange bread slices on a greased double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 24x18 in.). Bring foil up the sides, leaving the top open. Whisk eggs, milk, syrup and vanilla. Pour over bread; sprinkle with nuts and 1 cup blueberries. Fold edges over top, crimping to seal.
    2. Place on a grill grate over campfire or grill until eggs are cooked through, 30-40 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand 10 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining blueberries; serve with additional maple syrup if desired.
