Ingredients

Units Scale

Bread and Berries:

  • 1 loaf brioche or French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 8 cups)
  • 1 1/2 cups mixed fresh or frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)

Egg Mixture:

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Additional:

  • Butter or nonstick spray for greasing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Casserole: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Layer half of the cubed bread in the dish, then sprinkle with half the berries. Repeat with the remaining bread and berries.
  2. Mix the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, maple syrup (or sugar), vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
  3. Combine and Refrigerate: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and berries. Gently press down on the mixture to help the bread absorb the liquid. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  4. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, or until golden brown and the center is set.
  5. Serve: Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • If using frozen berries, thaw and drain them first.
  • Top with powdered sugar, extra berries, or whipped cream before serving.
  • This casserole can be prepared the night before and baked in the morning.
