Baked Berry Cream Cheese French Toast

 

Ingredients
15 ounces Challah, Brioche, Country or French Bread, cut into cubes
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 heaping cup berries (I used a mix of blueberries and raspberries)
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
3 eggs
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg
For serving:
maple syrup
fresh whip cream
fresh berries
 
Instructions
  1. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. Arrange the bread cubes evenly in pan.
  2. In a large bowl beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Beat in berries and confectioners' sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl beat eggs, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg together until well combined. Slowly whisk into the cream cheese mixture until completely combined.
  4. Pour over the bread cubes. Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least an hour to allow the bread to soak up some of the custard.
  5. If refrigerated overnight remove an hour or so before baking to let come up to room temperature, especially if using a glass pan, it could crack going from extreme cold to hot.
  6. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Bake 20 to 30 minutes until golden and crusty on top and set in the center. Serve warm with maple syrup, whip cream and fresh berries.
