By á-47

Ingredients

• 1 small loaf day-old French bread (or about 1/2 a large loaf)
• 5 eggs
• 3 Tbsp. sugar
• 1 tea. vanilla
• 2 1/2 cups whole milk
• 1/4 cup flour
• 6 Tbsp. brown sugar
• 1/2 tea. cinnamon
• 1 / 4cup (1/2 stock) butter
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1 cup strawberries, sliced

Preparation

Step 1

Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish. Cut the bread in 3/4" slices. Layer in the pan, fitting snugly.

In a bowl, lightly beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla. Stir in the milk. Pour over bread; turn bread slices over. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

In the morning, pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Cut the butter in bits, add to the mix and rub together to make a crumb topping. Remove the pan from the fridge, carefully turn the bread pieces over and scatter mixed berries evenly over the bread. Sprinkle with crumb topping.

Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes until puffy and golden.
