Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread (or brioche)
- 6 large Eggs
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- to taste Maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Cut the French bread into 1-inch cubes and evenly layer half of the cubes into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle half of the fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries over the bread layer.
Add the remaining bread cubes on top, followed by the rest of the fruit, ensuring even distribution.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and fruit, pressing down gently with a spatula to make sure all the bread is soaked.
Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Remove the plastic wrap or foil from the baking dish and bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden and the custard is set.
Let the French toast cool for 5-10 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar.
Serve warm with maple syrup, if desired.
