Verry Berry French Toast

Recipe #22066 | ½ day | ½ day prep | add private note

The main portion of this recipe was found in the June/July 1996 issue of Taste of Home. I had made it three different ways before everyone in the family was happy with it. I have posted the recipe the way we like it, except i always double the syrup recipe (which can be made ahead, refrigerated and reheated). The original recipe called only for blueberries and a choice of using either honey OR maple syrup in the french toast. The French toast recipe goes together in about 20 minutes and then refrigerates for 8 hours or overnight. It makes for an easy morning when put together the night before.

Made for PAC Spring 2008 Delightful recipe to prepare the night before and pop into the oven for baking whilst getting ready the next morning. I started off by halving the recipe for just the three kids and me for breakfast (DH takes granola in a cup to eat while drivign to work); so made this in a 9x9 pan. I used wholewheat bread WITH the crusts, only raspberries (our blueberry stash has been depleted! waaaah!), and regular syrup for the topping (I was lazy). The only change I would make in the future would be MORE honey in the custard....or a dash of salt, I don't know...the breading was a bit not "there".... and more berries would be good, too. Two members of the Peanut Gallery enthusiastically plowed through their portions before dashed out the door saying, *"Mom, that one deserves five stars!"* Yes, it does!

    This was fabulous! I served it to my brother's (very picky) family for brunch and everyone raved. I made it with a homestyle white bread that I made in my bread machine, and was lucky enough to find beautiful fresh raspberries and blueberries.This is a definite "keeper".

    I made this recipe for a ladies breakfast at my church...they all loved it. After completing the recipe, a very good tip occurred to me. Instead of cutting the cream cheese into squares; I suggest it be melted over low heat and mixed with the berries prior to placing them on the bread. I love cream cheese and am not bothered by biting into a 'chunk' of it...but others may be and this would solve this issue. And it would keep your hands, knives and cutting boared free of cream cheese mess Very yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This was AWESOME according to the 10 Girl Scout leaders I made it for (and I agree). I reduced the cream cheese to 1 (8oz) package and sliced it thin. The compot topping is a must make to go with it.
