Berry Delight French Toast Bake
3x the delicious servings!
This oven-baked French toast is ideal for entertaining because you can make it ahead to feed a breakfast or brunch crowd. Equally importantly, it boasts ALL the cozy vibes: cinnamon, brown sugar, and a yummy glaze. You’ll soak fluffy brioche buns in a creamy mix of whisked eggs and milk, tuck into a baking dish, dollop with sweet berry compote, and bake until golden and custardy. Before you dig in, drizzle each serving generously with a rich crème fraîche glaze—it’s a berry delicious idea for your next gathering (or a special brekkie just for two with loads of leftovers!).

Instructions
• Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Coat a 9-by-9-inch baking dish with 1 TBSP butter (use a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and 2 TBSP butter for 12 servings). • Slice buns into ½-inch-thick strips, then halve crosswise to make pieces. • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs*, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, two packets of crème fraîche (four packets for 12 servings), and a pinch of salt. (It’s OK if the mixture has some lumps!)
• Dip half the bun pieces into egg mixture; arrange in a single layer in prepared baking dish. Evenly dollop berry compote on top. • Dip remaining bun pieces into egg mixture; arrange in baking dish to form a second layer. Evenly pour any remaining egg mixture over top. • Bake on middle rack until golden brown, 25-30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and remaining crème fraîche. Using the back of a spoon or a rubber spatula, stir until smooth. TIP: Mixture will be very powdery at first but will come together— take your time!
• Let French toast bake cool 5-10 minutes, then slice into 6 pieces (12 pieces for 12 servings); divide between plates. • Drizzle with as much crème fraîche glaze as you like. Serve.
