Instructions
French toast
  1. Butter a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
  2. Cut twenty 1-inch slices from baguette and arrange in one layer in baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl whisk together eggs, milk, nutmeg, vanilla, and brown sugar. Pour evenly over bread.
  4. Chill mixture, covered, until all liquid is absorbed by bread, at least 8 hours, and up to 1 day.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  6. Sprinkle pecans and blueberries evenly over bread mixture and bake mixture 20 minutes, or until any liquid from blueberries is bubbling.
Syrup
  1. Make syrup while French toast is baking: In a small saucepan cook blueberries and maple syrup over moderate heat until berries burst, about 5 minutes.
  2. Pour syrup through a sieve into a heatproof pitcher, pressing on solids, and stir in lemon juice and zest.
  3. Syrup may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat syrup before serving.
  4. Serve French toast with syrup.
