Blueberry Pecan French Toast Souffle

With Thanksgiving just two short days away I thought I'd share a SO SIMPLE, yet amazingly yummy souffle recipe.  You can make this tomorrow, refrigerate it overnight and then pop it in the oven for Thanksgiving brunch; to keep everyone happy until the big bird comes out of the oven.  OR, prep it now and bake it the morning after Thanksgiving when the last thing you want to do is cook!  Enjoy!
