Time 9h15m

Yield 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
One 1-pound, day-old unsliced loaf white bread
2 1/2 cups mixed berries, such as blueberries, raspberries and blackberries
3 cups milk
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
6 large eggs
Kosher salt
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Warm maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Slice the bread into 3/4- to 1-inch-thick slices. Tile the bread in the dish, overlapping the slices. Scatter the berries over the bread, letting some fall to the bottom of the dish.
  • Whisk the milk, granulated sugar, cream, vanilla and almond extracts, eggs and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Pour over the bread and berries and press gently on the bread to immerse in the egg mixture. Melt the butter and drizzle over the top of the casserole. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove and discard the plastic wrap. Bake the casserole until golden brown and set in the center, tenting it with foil if the bread starts to become too dark, 45 to 50 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes, then dust with confectioners' sugar and serve with warm maple syrup on the side.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my casserole was a complete disaster. It was burnt on the bottom and the middle was still raw. I ended up throwing it away.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my casserole didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. It was still tasty, but it wasn't as good as I had hoped.

This casserole was a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it! They said it was the best french toast they've ever had.
