How to Make Berry French Toast Bake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch glass baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 cups half-and-half, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 4 large eggs until smooth.
- Add 6 cups cubed day-old bread and 1 1/2 cups mixed berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries) to the custard mixture. Gently stir to combine.
- Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.
- Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Uncover and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While the bake is baking, prepare the berry sauce: In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch.
- Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup orange juice until smooth.
- Stir in 1 cup mixed berries and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries.
- Serve the warm Berry French Toast Bake immediately, topped generously with the homemade berry sauce.
