This French Toast ~ bread pudding is super easy to assemble and since I don't always plan ahead..it wasn't an issue that I hadn't done it the night before. You can use any kind of white bread you like — sandwich bread or a baguette. I had a loaf of whole wheat. (This is an adaptation from Gourmet Magazine.)

1/2 cup pure maple syrup, plus additional for serving

1 pint fresh blueberries -- you could also use raspberries, strawberries, probably apples
4 large eggs
3 cups milk - whole is best, but 2% will also work...not so sure about skim
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
