Slow Cooker Blueberry French Toast Breakfast
A heavenly treat that will make Christmas day more exciting.
As fun as Christmas eve is, Christmas day is actually what I am busier with. That usually is the day when every family member visits and looks forward to what you have prepared on the dinning table.
But for my kids, it’s the Christmas breakfast that they look forward to aside from opening their gifts of course. And this Christmas breakfast will be extra special with this recipe I am about to share with you.
Check out the recipe below.

I know some of you would think that you can always make French toast in a couple of minutes using a regular pan. Trust me, this recipe is worth the preparation and the wait. So try it out and tell me what you think.
Happy slow cooking.
