Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but why stop at breakfast with this recipe! Use your favorite combination of berries—we recommend strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries—and LOTS of whipped cream!

French Toast with Mixed Berries and Cream

Serves 4-6

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups fresh berries (if using strawberries, trim and slice)
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups cream, divided
  • Butter
  • 8 (1-inch-thick) slices brioche (from day old loaf)
  1. Combine 2 cups of the berries with the water in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook over medium heat until the berries are softened; set aside until ready to serve. Keep warm.
  2. In a shallow, large bowl whisk together eggs and 1 cup cream.
  3. Melt 1-2 tablespoons of butter in a large nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat (make sure that the entire surface is covered with butter). Dip slices of brioche in the egg/cream mixture. Turn bread over to briefly soak both sides.
  4. Transfer the bread to the prepared griddle and cook until golden brown and slightly crisp, about 3 minutes per side. To keep French toast warm, place on an ovenproof serving platter in a preheated oven (200 deg F) and cover loosely with foil.
  5. Whip the remaining 1 cup of cream until soft peaks form. Serve the French toast topped with the warm berries, remaining fresh berries and whipped cream.
