INGREDIENTS
  • 1-1/2 cups maple-flavored pancake syrup

DIRECTIONS

Pour maple-flavored syrup into small saucepan. Split vanilla bean lengthwise in half; scrape the seeds from inside the pod into the syrup. Add the pod; stir. Bring just to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Simmer 10 minutes. Remove and discard the vanilla pod. Stir in blueberries. Remove from heat; cover to keep warm.

Place on ovenproof serving platter; place in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining bread, remaining egg mixture and remaining 6 tablespoons Parkay. Serve topped with the warm blueberry sauce.
