A Great Option for a Slow Weekend

What’s your activity when weekend comes? What do you prefer? Go out or stay and rest at home? I personally like both. There was a time when I was really exhausted and preferred do a slow weekend while watching some movies. But sometimes, I feel bored too, and decided to go out just for a café hopping (Even though I like cooking, I like café hopping too, just for experiencing new ambiance and for some cooking inspirations too😊)

One time, when I was going back home from the café there was a fruit seller. He is an old man about 60 years old and offer me his selling, he sells strawberries, raspberries, and grapes. He looks really tired and hopeless because it’s already noon. The fruits are still fresh, I couldn’t resist when I see the strawberries so big, red, and fresh. So I bought some with red grapes too. While walking to my home, I eat the grapes and didn’t realize that my grapes already running out lol.

The next morning, I love waking up slowly on a lazy Sunday morning plus with the maroon 5 songs ever, just dramatize my weekend and indulge in some hearty brunch food while I sip coffee, all in my pajamas… Ah, gotta love a nice and slow weekend. I remember that I still have the strawberries and leftover blueberries on my fridge. I got an idea

Ingredients of Baked Berry French Toast

Actually, the main parts of this are bread, berries, a mixture of egg and milk, yes that’s it. The others are optional, but if you add them It will be a hit!

• Strawberry and Blueberry– You can use frozen or fresh berries, whatever you have. if you use frozen berries make sure you thaw it first 30 minutes minimum, so it will give a less watery texture. I recommend using fresh berries.
• Bread – you can use whatever is on your dining table. I usually use white bread for this menu. However, you can use other bread or gluten-free and vegan bread. For a recommendation, you can use brioche, challah, sourdough, boule, Texas toast, or a baguette. They soak well than the other bread.
• Cinnamon Powder – the aroma when bread plus cinnamon being baked is a best friend. I use cinnamon add the mixture
• Eggs – It will make the bread crispy. The egg mixture will bind the ingredients. It levels up the taste.
• Milk – I use whole milk for this recipe. Some people add heavy cream also for this recipe. You can blend them if you like them.
• Vanilla extract – Enhance the aroma and the flavor. It will balance the sweetness.
• Butter – I use unsalted butter here. I recommend using it
• Icing Sugar– for the topping when finished baked

Instructions to Make Baked Berry French Toast

To begin making baked berry French toast, start by cutting the bread into 1-inch cubes and arranging them in a greased baking dish. It’s best to use bread that is a day old, as it will hold up better during baking and won’t get too soggy. Then set aside,

Next, in a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, granulated sugar, egg, cinnamon powder, vanilla essence, and butter until well combined. Then, cook until warm and the sugar has dissolved.

Then, Put the bread cubes into the tray. This mixture will be poured over the bread cubes, so make sure to mix it well. Pour the milk mixture on top.

Then, add the mixed berries over the bread cubes and gently press them down into the mixture The berries will add a delicious burst of flavor and color to the dish.

Bake the French Toast Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in a preheated 356°F (180°C) oven for 30-35 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the center is set. This baking method ensures that the French toast cooks evenly and gets nice and crispy on the outside.
