Low-Carb Blueberry French Toast Casserole is a phenomenal paleo brunch recipe. We love making this dish for Mother’s Day brunch, but it’s so good that we have it all year round.

Easy French Toast Recipe
I like to bake my Paleo Bread the day before I make this Blueberry French Toast Casserole. I let the bread cool overnight, then easily throw this dish together the next morning.

Blueberry French Toast Casserole Recipe
The idea for this recipe came from one called Bradley Inn Blueberry French Toast Casserole I found in our local paper, the Daily Camera.

Food & Photography
The technique I used for this photo is a little more about the composition than the food, very artsy. I’ll keep taking the close up photographs that I have since I went grain-free in 2001. Which style of food photography do you like best?

I also love your close-ups! Sorry Elana, but I found myself hating your overhead shot of this French Toast recipe. Really looked horrible. Great recipe as always!!

I’m crazy for the overhead shots. They always intimidated me – scared of everything being out of focus, couldn’t get the angle quite right… then I went to ICP to study food photography and learned a crazy (simple) concept… shooting on the floor! So helpful. Now I rock the top shots like no other. I find them super attractive but have always loved your close ups because it displays the texture so perfectly. Maybe a mix of both would be great?
Also, awesome recipe!
Rachel Sacks says
I feel the same. I think the shots from the top are attractive and nice to have on your website. But I agree with all the other comments about the close-ups showing the texture and ingredients better. They give me more of a feel for what to expect from this dish. I can more easily imagine taking a bite out of it. The close-ups make me want to make those foods more than the shots from above do.
Elana says
Thanks!

I just scrolled through some of your more recent blog post pictures, and honestly I like close ups better. Overhead just looks too distant. Close ups really help us see what the texture or even some of the ingredients look like in the food. Maybe it depends on the type of food? But personally, close ups look better.

Ditto!
Peggy Rian says
I totally agree. Love the close ups.
