Berry Toast Bake Delight (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
12 cups diced french bread (roughly one big loaf)
02 -
2 cups raspberries, either fresh or thawed frozen
03 -
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
04 -
1/3 cup sugar
05 -
10 eggs
06 -
1 2/3 cups milk
07 -
1/2 cup sugar
08 -
1 teaspoon vanilla
09 -
Powdered sugar (if you want)
# How to Make It:
01 -
Coat a 9x13 pan with cooking spray on bottom and sides; put it aside.
02 -
Slice bread into chunks about 1.5 inches big until you've got around 12 cups. Put about two-thirds of your bread chunks into the dish.
03 -
Grab a small bowl and mix the cream cheese with 1/3 cup sugar until it's completely smooth.
04 -
Drop spoonfuls of the cheese mix over your first bread layer. Scatter raspberries on top, then add the leftover bread pieces. Set it aside.
05 -
In a big bowl, beat the eggs well. Add in the milk, 1/2 cup sugar, and vanilla while continuing to mix.
06 -
Pour your egg mixture all over the bread and push bread down so it soaks up the liquid. Cover your dish and leave it in the fridge overnight.
07 -
Turn your oven on to 350°F (175°C).
08 -
Bake without covering for about 45-50 minutes until it reaches 160°F (71°C) inside and turns golden on top.
09 -
Take it out and let it sit for a bit. Dust with powdered sugar if you'd like, and serve with maple syrup.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Leave the dish in your fridge all night so the bread can soak up all the egg mixture properly.
