What’s For Breakfast? Overnight Raspberry French Toast

I’m so ready for sandals weather, and all my recipes get a little overhaul. We do breakfast big in our household, and when I discovered overnight French toast, my mind was blown. Finally – I can have an amazing recipe ready for Saturday morning, without having to wake up super early to have it ready! Mind = blown. Today, I’m going to share a fruity take on it, which is so perfect for Spring!

What you need:

1. 4 cups of cubed French bread (about 3/4 of a baguette)
2. 1 1/2 cup of frozen raspberries
3. 3 large eggs
4. 1 cup of milk
5. 3 tsp white sugar
6. 1 tsp vanilla extract

What you do:

1. Spray an oven-safe glass pan with cooking spray. Spread the cubed bread throughout the pan (you want to cover the whole bottom). Then, top with the raspberries. Again, spread these as evenly as possible!
2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk your eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until it’s well-mixed.
3. Pour the wet mixture over the bread/raspberries, making sure to coat everything. (I like to use the measuring cup to pour, as I find it’s much easier to distribute even amounts than pouring from the bowl!)
4. Cover and set in fridge overnight. (I usually make this mid-afternoon!)
5. In the morning, set the pan out to reach room-temperature as you pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees.
6. Once the oven is pre-heated, uncover and cook the French toast for 20-25 minutes, until it is golden brown.
7. Removed from oven, cut, and serve! We like to top ours with powdered sugar and fresh raspberries, but syrup is another option! This recipe serves up to 6.

Mmm. Doesn’t that just look like Spring to you?
