Perfect for Easter brunch or spring breakfast
Ingredients:
French Toast:
1 loaf French bread, sliced into 1-inch thick pieces
4 large eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
Topping:
1/2 cup maple syrup
Powdered sugar for dusting
Method:
• Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
• Arrange the sliced French bread in the prepared baking dish.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt until well combined.
• Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread slices, making sure each piece is coated. Allow it to sit for about 10 to 15 minutes to absorb the liquid. Scatter the mixed berries over the bread slices.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
• While baking, prepare the topping by warming the maple syrup in a small saucepan over low heat.
• Once the French toast is done, remove it from the oven and drizzle the warm maple syrup over the top. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
