Perfect Presentation Platters

You can use either plates or bowls to serve this Lemon Blueberry French Toast! Here are some of my favorite options:

Individual Serving Plates: I love black-and-white checkered plates from Mac-Kenzie Childs, which also come in a blue or pink version! For adorable and more affordable serving plates, I am obsessed with this beautiful coordinating set from Target for a great price!

Individual Bowls: I also love this blue-and-white checkered ice cream dish by MacKenzie-Childs, which also comes in black, gray, or pink. Amazon also has this beautiful set of rose-colored dessert dishes for a great price!

Wooden Serving Board: I used this large wooden platter from Target that is so cute, especially the handy double handles. If you’re looking to add to a collection, Antique Hardware has this set of 3 that I get so much use out of. I also use this rectangular tray all the time. (Both at a great price!)

Kitchen Links: I get asked all the time about the products in the background of my kitchen. Much of it is from MacKenzie-Childs, which I have slowly grown a collection of over the years! My favorites are this checkered chopping board, my black and white checkered teapot, and the gray and white checkered utensil holder. I also have this enamel canister that you can find in small, medium, or large.

Can I Prep This in Advance?

Yes! What I love about this Lemon Blueberry French Toast is that you can absolutely prep this the night before and let it sit in the fridge. If you need a shorter prep time, two hours before baking also works perfectly!

Storing Leftover Blueberry French Toast

If you have any leftovers, cover the baking dish with Saran Wrap or place in a Tupperware container. Store it in the fridge, where it should stay fresh for several days. To reheat, microwave for 15-second intervals until your preferred heat is reached.

Enjoy!
