Ingredients
- 1 loaf brioche bread sliced ¾ inch thick
- 6 ounces raspberries rinsed
- 6 ounces blackberries rinsed
- ¾ cup sugar divided
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon divided
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Arrange the bread and the berries in a 2 ½ to 3 quart baking dish. Try to even out the berries and get some down in between the slices of bread.
- Whisk together ½ cup of the sugar and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon and the salt in a large bowl. Add the eggs, milk and vanilla extract, continuing to whisk until combined.
- Pour egg mixture evenly over the bread and berries. Press down to submerge the bread even more.
- Let sit on the counter for an hour or refrigerate for up to one day.
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Mix together the rest of the cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle evenly over the top.
- Bake until puffy and golden brown, about 60 minutes. If it starts to get too brown, cover loosely with foil.
- Remove from the oven and let stand for ten minutes before serving.
Notes
I used Brioche bread, challah would also be good and if you wanted to make it a little healthier you could use whole wheat.
I used raspberries and blackberries, your favorite fruit would work. If using pears or apples, peel and core before slicing.
