Now that we’re all stuck inside, it’s starting to become a pain to figure out what to eat for each meal and plan out meals. What I love about this dish is that you can make it at night and simply bake in the morning and you have a delicious breakfast for the whole family ready to go! It reminds me of French Toast, but even more delouse.

Ingredients

  • 8 large croissants or French bread – cut lengthwise or if using French bread cut into small pieces

  • 2 cups whole milk

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract 

  • 6 large eggs

  • ½ cup light brown sugar 

  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon

  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg

  • ¼ tsp kosher salt 

  • 1 cup strawberries – sliced

  • 1 cup blueberries

  • For garnish: powdered sugar and maple syrup    

Directions

  • In another bowl mix the eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and milk.
  • If using croissants, dip in the milk mixture and put in the baking dish. If using French bread, just put in the dish and spread the milk mixture on the bread. Cover with plastic and keep in the fridge for about 4 to 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
  • Take out in the morning and let sit for about 20-25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375F. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and put in the top rack and wait for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Take out and let sit for about 10 more minutes, then cut in slices.
  • For garnish – spread powdered sugar and berries on top, and serve with maple syrup.
  • Enjoy!
