Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 loaf brioche bread cut into 1-inch thick slices
- 6 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- ½ cup half-and-half
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup berries mixed or one kind
- maple syrup for serving
- powdered sugar for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375° F. Grease a baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter. Set aside.
- In a large bowl whisk the eggs, add milk, half and half, both sugars, vanilla extract and whisk until fully incorporated.
- Slice the bread into 1-inch slices. Submerge each piece of bread into the egg mixture, allowing the bread to sit at least a minute and soak up the eggs. Arrange the bread in the prepared baking dish. Pour the remaining egg mixture over the bread slices.
- Sprinkle the berries in between the layers, tucking some between the slices.
- When ready to bake, cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for another 20-25 minutes or until the French toast is deeply golden.
- Serve the french toast warm, topped with any additional berries, maple syrup and a sprinkle of powdered sugar if desired. Enjoy!
