OVEN-BAKED FRENCH TOAST WITH MIXED BERRY SAUCE
As meals go, breakfast typically is the least expensive of the day. Eggs, bread and milk are relatively cheap and with the right recipe can become more than the usual omelettes and toast. Oven-baked French toast with mixed berry sauce is inexpensive to prepare and is impressive enough for company, yet simple enough to make for a Sunday brunch with family. The easy-to-make-sauce uses inexpensive frozen mixed berries, but the recipe is flexible. An equal amount of any frozen berries can be substituted. The sauce will keep, in an airtight container, for up to a week.

Tips:

- If you don't have fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries. Just thaw them before using.
- You can also use other fruits in the sauce, such as blueberries, raspberries, or peaches.
- If you don't have a blender, you can mash the strawberries and rhubarb with a fork.
- Make sure the butter is melted before adding it to the bread mixture.
- Don't overmix the bread mixture. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
- If you're using a loaf of bread, cut it into 1-inch thick slices.
- Soak the bread slices in the egg mixture for at least 30 minutes. This will help them to absorb the flavor of the eggs and milk.
- Cook the french toast over medium heat. This will help to prevent it from burning.
- Serve the french toast with the strawberry rhubarb sauce and whipped cream.
