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.

VERRY BERRY FRENCH TOAST
The main portion of this recipe was found in the June/July 1996 issue of Taste of Home. I had made it three different ways before everyone in the family was happy with it. I have posted the recipe the way we like it, except i always double the syrup recipe (which can be made ahead, refrigerated and reheated). The original recipe called only for blueberries and a choice of using either honey OR maple syrup in the french toast. The French toast recipe goes together in about 20 minutes and then refrigerates for 8 hours or overnight. It makes for an easy morning when put together the night before.

Tips:
- Use stale bread for a better texture. Fresh bread will absorb too much of the egg mixture and become soggy.
- Use a variety of berries for a more flavorful strata. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries are all good choices.
- Add a sprinkle of sugar or cinnamon to the berries before layering them in the baking dish. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Use a deep baking dish to prevent the strata from overflowing. A 9x13 inch dish is a good size.
- Bake the strata until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will usually take about 45 minutes.
- Serve the strata warm with maple syrup, butter, or fruit compote.
Conclusion:
Berry French toast strata is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It is perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend morning. With its combination of sweet berries, creamy custard, and crispy bread, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
