Categories     main-dish

Time 2h40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
10 extra-large eggs
2 3/4 cups half-and-half
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated orange zest, plus extra for serving
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
10 cups (1-inch-diced) day-old challah bread
12 ounces fresh raspberries
Confectioners' sugar, for serving
Pure maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Grease a 9 x 13 x 2-inch oval baking dish with the butter and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, 1/3 cup of granulated sugar, the brown sugar, vanilla, orange zest, and salt.
  • Spread half of the diced bread in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle on the raspberries in one layer. Top with the rest of the bread and pour on the egg mixture, pressing down lightly to moisten the bread. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the baking dish on a sheet pan and bake it for 60 to 70 minutes, until the custard is set and the top is puffed and browned. Check after 45 minutes; if the top is getting too browned, cover it lightly with aluminum foil. Cool for 10 minutes, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, dust with extra orange zest, and serve warm with maple syrup.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 slices

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 Gala apples, peeled, cored and chopped
1 pear, peeled, cored and chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 dozen large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups whole milk
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 day-old (or slightly older) loaf challah bread, cut into 1-inch-thick slices
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, for cooking
Pure maple syrup, warmed, for serving

Steps:

  • For the fruit-nut mixture: Mix the butter with the apples, pears, walnuts and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Refrigerate to chill briefly.
  • For the French toast: Meanwhile, in a large flat dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and vanilla.
  • Make a deep slice from the side into the center of each bread slice to form a pocket. Stuff a couple spoonfuls of the fruit-nut mixture into each piece (reserve any leftover fruit-nut mixture for serving). Dip the stuffed bread in the egg mixture to moisten on both sides (but not so much that the bread falls apart).
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. In batches, add the stuffed bread and cook until golden brown, flipping gently, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Continue cooking the remaining bread, adding additional butter as needed.
  • Put the extra fruit-nut mixture in the skillet and cook a few minutes over medium heat, just to soften the fruit. Spoon over the French toast and serve with warm maple syrup.

Provided by Six Sisters Stuff

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 slices Texas Toast
6-8 large eggs
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 cups milk
2 cups of raspberries (I buy them frozen and then thaw them)
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup flour

Steps:

  • Grease a 9x13" baking dish. Arrange the bread in two layers, with six slices of bread on each layer.
  • In a large bowl, mix together eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and milk. Whisk until blended (but not too bubbly).
  • Pour the mixture over the french toast, making sure to cover them evenly, as well as in between the slices as well.
  • Cover with foil and refrigerate for 8 hours (or overnight).
  • When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Remove from refrigerator and sprinkle with raspberries.
  • In a small bowl, combine butter, flour, and brown sugar until completely incorporated. Drop in teaspoonfuls over the french toast.
  • Bake 35-40 minutes, until slightly puffy and golden.

Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, use a combination of butter and oil to grease the baking dish.
  • To prevent the bread from becoming soggy, make sure to soak it in the egg mixture for no more than 30 seconds per side.
  • If you don't have a baking dish, you can also use a large skillet or griddle.
  • Be sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking the French toast.
  • Keep an eye on the French toast while it's baking, as it can burn easily.
  • Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.
