  6 large eggs

Increase temperature to 400 degrees F Sprinkle pecans and blueberries evenly over bread mixture. Cut ½ stick butter into pieces and in a small saucepan heat with remaining ¼ cup brown sugar, stirring, until butter is melted. Drizzle butter mixture over bread and bake mixture 25-28 minutes or until any liquid from blueberries is bubbling.
