FRENCH TOAST WITH MIXED BERRIES



French Toast with Mixed Berries image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 cups half-and-half or milk
Three 3-inch cinnamon sticks, broken up into pieces
6 large eggs
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1 baguette (French bread), about 2 feet long
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Confectioners' sugar
Marinated Berries, recipe follows
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, and seeds scraped out with a knife and reserved
Grated zest of 1/2 lemon
Grated zest of 1/2 orange
1 cup water
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 pint raspberries
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 pint blueberries, rinsed
1/2 pint strawberries, rinsed, tops trimmed, halved or quartered, if large

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, heat the half-and-half with the cinnamon, just until bubbles form around the side of the pan. Remove from the heat; set aside to steep for 30 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs with the nutmeg and sugar. Strain the half-and-half into the eggs and discard the cinnamon pieces. Whisk to make a smooth batter.

Cook the slices, turning once, until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the toasts to a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining bread. Bake until the toasts are warmed through and slightly puffy, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Divide the toast on large plates and dust with confectioners' sugar. Top with the berries and serve immediately.

BETHIE'S BAKED FRENCH TOAST



Bethie's Baked French Toast image

Well.... it is my humble opinion that the baked french toast recipes that sit overnight are soggy & mushy. So I tried this. Then added some stuff. And crossed my fingers. The topping idea I hijacked from another recipe online then adjusted to my personal taste. I do hope you enjoy; my family swooned so I came running here to post. ;) I think you could add any dried fruit or even fresh fruit - apples, pears, bananas - cut up into bite sized pieces. I think adding orange zest to the topping might be yummy, too. Go ahead...make it your own!

Provided by Elmotoo

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 loaf challah
vegetable cooking spray
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup shredded coconut
10 large eggs
2 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup cream
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 -2 tablespoon sugar (or vanilla sugar!)
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 cup sliced almonds
maple syrup

Steps:

  • The night before, thickly slice the bread & lay out on a cooling rack.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Spray a 9x13 pan well. Tear up the dried bread slices into bite sized pieces into the pan. Sprinkle with raisins & coconut.
  • In an 8c measuring bowl, whisk eggs. Add milk & cream (you can use whatever combination of dairy you want. I have skim milk in the fridge so I added some cream. If I had whole milk, I would have used that & skipped the cream). Add sugar, vanilla, cinnamon & whisk thoroughly. Carefully pour over the bread. With a spatula or your (clean) hands, carefully push down to make sure it's all wet. Let sit 15 minutes or so.
  • For the topping:.
  • In a small bowl, combine butter, brown sugar & cinnamon. I mushied it all up thoroughly with my hands. Spread on top of the french toast mixture. It doesn't spread very easily; I used my hands. Sprinkle almonds on top. I sprinkled almonds on only 1/2 because dd doesn't care for nuts. ;).
  • You may want to consider putting a cookie sheet under the baking dish in case there are any spills. Bake in preheated oven 50 minutes or until toasty on top & set. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving. Pour just a little warmed pure maple syrup on top.
  • Enjoy. :).

OVEN-BAKED FRENCH TOAST WITH MIXED BERRY SAUCE



Oven-Baked French Toast With Mixed Berry Sauce image

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:

  • Use a good quality bread for your French toast. A sturdy bread, such as a French baguette or brioche, will hold up better to the custard and cooking process.
  • Make sure your custard is well-seasoned. Add a pinch of salt and a dash of cinnamon to the custard to enhance the flavor.
  • Cook your French toast over medium heat. This will help to prevent the bread from burning and allow it to cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking your French toast. This will prevent the bread from cooking evenly and may cause it to become soggy.
  • Serve your French toast immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Baked French toast is a delicious and easy breakfast or brunch dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking with a variety of toppings and flavors. Whether you like your French toast simple or decadent, there is a recipe in this article that is sure to please you.
