Lemon Blueberry French Toast

Ingredients:

• 8 1-inch thick slices semolina bread
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. lemon zest
• 6 Tbsp. butter
• 2 Tbsp. sugar
• 3 lg. eggs
• 1 cup half and half
• 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract

3. Heat a non-stick pan to medium-low heat and add half of the butter.
4. Soak four pieces of bread in the bowl for at least 30 seconds. Remove bread from the bowl, letting it drip for a bit before placing it in the pan.
