Time 7h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup whole milk
2/3 cup part-skim or whole-milk ricotta
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 large eggs
1 lemon, zested and juiced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
12 thick-sliced (3/4- to 1-inch) day-old challah bread slices
1 cup frozen blueberries
Powdered sugar, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg in a small bowl and mix to combine. Set aside. In a large bowl, add the milk, ricotta, vanilla, salt, eggs and lemon zest. Whisk to combine and set aside. Pour the melted butter in a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish. Dip each slice of bread lightly in the egg mixture and shingle the bread in the casserole dish, sprinkling a large pinch of the sugar mixture on each layer. Pour the remaining egg mixture on top of the bread and then pour the remaining sugar mixture on top. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake the casserole for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until the custard is set and the bread is golden brown, an additional 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the blueberries and lemon juice to a small saucepot. Cook over medium heat until the berries burst and thicken and the sauce begins to bubble, about 15 minutes.
  • When ready to serve, spoon the blueberries over the center of the casserole and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

For French toast
3 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (1-lb) challah loaf, cut crosswise into 12 (1/2-inch-thick) slices (not including end pieces)
3 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
For berry sauce
3 cups mixed berries such as blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries
1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar (depending on sweetness of berries)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Garnish: confectioners sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Prepare French toast:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, and salt until blended. Pour into a large baking pan and soak bread slices in 1 layer, turning once, 8 minutes.
  • Prepare berry sauce while bread is soaking:

  • Cook French toast:

Transfer 4 soaked bread slices to skillet with a slotted spatula and cook until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side. Cook remaining bread in 2 batches, adding more butter as needed. Transfer slices as cooked to a large shallow baking pan (using a clean spatula) and, when all are browned, bake in middle of oven until hot, about 5 minutes.
  • Serve French toast with 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.
