Make French toast for a crowd by layering it in a baking dish and soaking overnight.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 9h15m

Yield 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
One 1-pound, day-old unsliced loaf white bread
2 1/2 cups mixed berries, such as blueberries, raspberries and blackberries
3 cups milk
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
6 large eggs
Kosher salt
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Warm maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Slice the bread into 3/4- to 1-inch-thick slices. Tile the bread in the dish, overlapping the slices. Scatter the berries over the bread, letting some fall to the bottom of the dish.
  • Whisk the milk, granulated sugar, cream, vanilla and almond extracts, eggs and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Pour over the bread and berries and press gently on the bread to immerse in the egg mixture. Melt the butter and drizzle over the top of the casserole. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove and discard the plastic wrap. Bake the casserole until golden brown and set in the center, tenting it with foil if the bread starts to become too dark, 45 to 50 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes, then dust with confectioners' sugar and serve with warm maple syrup on the side.

FRENCH TOAST WITH BERRY BUTTERS



French Toast with Berry Butters image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup blackberries
1/2 cup raspberries
1 loaf crusty bread, such as baguette, French loaf, etc.
4 whole egg yolks
2 cups half-and-half
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Zest of 1 lemon
Butter, for frying
Sifted powdered sugar, for serving, optional
Maple syrup, warm, for serving

Steps:

  • For the berry butters: In separate batches, whip 2 sticks butter on high in the bowl of a stand mixer using the whisk attachment. Switch to the paddle attachment. Add the blackberries. Turn the mixer to low for only about 5 seconds, just long enough for the berries to begin to mix in and break up, but not so long that it turns into a mess. Clean the mixer bowl and attachments and repeat with the remaining 2 sticks butter and the raspberries.
  • With each batch, turn the berry butter out onto a long sheet of plastic wrap set over a long sheet of foil. First seal the plastic wrap around the cylinder, and then secure the foil around it. Twist the ends, gradually applying more pressure as you twist in order to make the cylinder taut. Once it's a nice, neat cylinder of foil, place into the freezer for 30 minutes in order to quickly solidify it. Then transfer to the fridge until you're ready to use. The butter should be very firm.
  • For the French toast: Cut the bread into slices 1/2-inch thick. In a dish, whisk the egg yolks with the half-and-half, sugar, vanilla and lemon zest. Dip the bread slices in the egg mixture, coating both sides. Then remove from the dish and set aside. Repeat until all the bread is coated.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium heat. Sizzle some butter in the skillet when hot. Cook the French toast on both sides until golden brown, being careful not to burn. Remove the berry butters from the fridge. Unwrap one end and cut some slices. Lay one slice onto each serving of French toast. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired, and then drizzle with maple syrup.

CHALLAH FRENCH TOAST WITH BERRY SAUCE



Challah French Toast with Berry Sauce image

Categories     Sauce     Dairy     Egg     Breakfast     Brunch     Summer     Gourmet

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:
  • Purée 1 1/2 cups berries with sugar and lemon juice in a blender. If you want to eliminate seeds, force purée through a very fine sieve into a bowl. Transfer to a serving bowl and fold in remaining berries.
  • Cook French toast:
  • Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet or griddle over moderately high heat until foam subsides. 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.
