a yummy option for dinner or breakfast or truly anytime!
NEED:
1 small loaf day-old French bread (or about 1/2 of a large loaf)
5 eggs
3 TB. sugar
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
21/2 Cups whole milk
1/4 Cup flour
6 TB. packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 Cup (1/2 stick) butter
1 Cup blueberries
1 Cup strawberries, sliced
DO:
Lightly grease a 9x13 pan.
Cut the bread in 3/4-inch slices. Layer in the pan, fitting snugly.
In a bowl, lightly beat the eggs, sugar and VANILLA. Stir in the milk.
Pour over bread; turn bread slices over. Cover and refrigerate overnight*.
When you are ready to serve:
pre-heat the oven to 375°.
In a bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar and CINNAMON.
Cut the butter in bits, add to the mix and rub together to make a crumb topping.
Remove the pan from the fridge, carefully turn the bread pieces over and scatter mixed berries evenly over the bread. Sprinkle with crumb topping.
Bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes, until puffy and golden.
*Overnight soaking of the bread is what causes the dish to puff up and be very creamy when baked. If you don't have overnight, at least let it soak for a few hours.
Prep. time: 15 minutes plus overnight in the fridge
Cooking time: 35-40 minutes
Serves: 6-8
