How to Make Mixed Berry French Toast Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9x2 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 6 large egg whites, 2 cups milk, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut 1 loaf (about 1 pound) of challah bread or brioche into 1-inch cubes. Add the bread cubes to the prepared baking dish.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are moistened. Gently press down to submerge the bread.
  5. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
  6. 30 minutes before baking, remove the baking dish from the refrigerator. Thaw 3 cups of mixed berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries).
  7. Bake the covered French toast bake for 30 minutes.
  8. While the bake is baking, prepare the crumble topping: In a small bowl, cut 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter into 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  9. Remove the French toast bake from the oven. Sprinkle the thawed mixed berries evenly over the top.
  10. Sprinkle the brown sugar crumble topping evenly over the berries.
  11. Bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
