Step 1
In a shallow dish, whisk the 3 eggs, 0.5 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth.
Step 2
Dip each of the 4 brioche slices in the egg mixture, letting them soak for 30 seconds per side.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a little butter or oil. Cook the soaked bread for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and puffed.
Step 4
In a small saucepan, combine the 1 cup blueberries and 2 tablespoons sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the berries burst and the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Place 2 slices of French toast on each plate. Spoon the blueberry compote over the top.
Step 6
Add a dollop of the 0.25 cup lemon curd on top of each serving.
Step 7
Dust with the 1 tablespoon powdered sugar and serve immediately.
