1loafday-old French bread, cubed (about 10 cups) (sour dough or challah work great too)
2cupswhole milk
7largeeggs
¾cuplight brown sugar, packed
¾teaspoonground cinnamon
PinchKosher salt
Topping
½cupsalted butter, cubed
½cupall-purpose flour
½cuplight brown sugar, packed
1cupberries(I used frozen)
Instructions
French Toast
Butter or grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
Layer the bread cubes evenly in the pan, equaling about 2 layers. In a medium bowl, beat the milk, eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Pour evenly over the bread, making sure to coat each piece. Cover with aluminum foil and chill at least 3 hours or up to overnight.
Topping
In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, flour, and brown sugar with a pastry cutter or two knives. Use your hands if needed to make crumbs. Cover and chill.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F. Sprinkle the topping over the bread and evenly disperse the berries on top. Bake uncovered 50 to 60 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the center is cooked through.
Enjoy by itself or topped with syrup.
Notes
Variations: Swap the berries for sliced apples or peaches, or omit the fruit altogether and mix in some chopped walnuts or pecans. You can also add some vanilla extract or nutmeg to the egg mixture to give it an extra boost of flavor.Storage: Leftovers will last in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
