Ingredients

1 loaf French bread, cut into 1-inch slices
6 large eggs
2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
Powdered sugar for serving (optional)
Maple syrup for serving (optional)

Instructions

Prep the Bread: Arrange the slices of French bread in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, overlapping them slightly.
Make the Custard: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Combine: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread slices, ensuring all pieces are soaked. Press down gently to help the bread absorb the custard.
Add Berries: Scatter the mixed berries over the top of the bread.
Chill: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for best results.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the plastic wrap and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the custard is set.
Serve: Allow to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar and serving with maple syrup if desired.
