Treat your family to this Chocolate and Raspberry French Toast Bake aka the most delicious holiday breakfast tradition. Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup.
Ingredients
1 brioche loaf, sliced
1 cup Real California whole milk
1/4 cup Real California heavy cream
3 eggs + 1 yolk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp kosher salt
2 tbsp Real California unsalted butter, softener
1/4 cup white chocolate chips
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup fresh raspberries
1/4 cup fresh blackberries
Maple syrup, for drizzle
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350ºF and grease a 12-inch oval baking dish with softened butter. Set aside.
Slice the brioche loaf into 1-inch thick slices and lightly toast in the oven for a couple of minutes. Remove from the oven and spread a little bit of butter on each slice. Arrange the brioche slices in the baking dish and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine whole milk, heavy cream, eggs + egg yolks and vanilla, and whisk to combine. Add the sugar, brown sugar and salt, whisking until fully incorporated.
Pour the egg mixture over the entire loaf. Tip: use a brush to coat every slice.
Bake the French toast for 20 minutes covered with foil, until egg mixture is set. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until golden.
Remove from heat and sprinkle the white and dark chocolate on top, followed by fresh raspberries and blackberries just before serving.
Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, or dust powdered sugar on top!
