How to Make Berry French Toast Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch glass baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. While the bake is baking, prepare the berry sauce: In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch.
  7. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup orange juice until smooth.
  8. 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.
  9. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries.
  10. Serve the warm Berry French Toast Bake immediately, topped generously with the homemade berry sauce.
