How to Make Berry French Toast

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray.

  4. In a shallow bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 2 egg whites, 1 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Cut 1 pound of challah bread or Texas toast into 1-inch thick slices. Dip each slice into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
