Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices whole-grain bread
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup fresh berries (such as blueberries and strawberries)
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or walnuts)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with the olive oil.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, honey, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
Cut the whole-grain bread slices into cubes and add them to the egg mixture. Stir gently until the bread is evenly coated with the mixture.
Fold in half of the fresh berries and half of the chopped nuts into the bread mixture.
Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Top with the remaining berries and nuts, pressing them gently into the bread mixture.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is set.
Let the baked French toast cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt on top.
