Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 thick slices challah, brioche, or other egg bread (1 inch thick)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 bag (10 to 12 ounces) frozen raspberries (or strawberries), thawed

Time 2h40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
10 extra-large eggs
2 3/4 cups half-and-half
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated orange zest, plus extra for serving
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
10 cups (1-inch-diced) day-old challah bread
12 ounces fresh raspberries
Confectioners' sugar, for serving
Pure maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Grease a 9 x 13 x 2-inch oval baking dish with the butter and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, 1/3 cup of granulated sugar, the brown sugar, vanilla, orange zest, and salt.
  • Spread half of the diced bread in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle on the raspberries in one layer. Top with the rest of the bread and pour on the egg mixture, pressing down lightly to moisten the bread. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 medium loaf (about 8 ounces, or 12 medium-thick slices) brioche, challah, or other egg bread
4 eggs
2 cups whole, 2 percent fat, or 1 percent fat milk
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 pinch salt

Confectioners' sugar, to taste

Lay 2 slices of cream cheese on top then place 1/6 of the raspberries on top of the cheese. Place another slice of soaked bread on top and press firmly with the back of a spatula. Turn the "sandwich" over and brown on the other side, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to warmed serving plates.
  • Coulis: In a large bowl puree defrosted raspberries. Stir in confectioners' sugar and lemon juice to taste. Through a fine sieve into a serving bowl, strain raspberries.

Tips:

  • Use ripe pears: This will ensure that they are sweet and juicy.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish: Leave some space between the slices of bread so that they can cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality bread: A sturdy bread, such as sourdough or French bread, will hold up better in the baking dish.
  • Don't overcook the french toast: It should be cooked through, but still slightly soft in the center.
  • Serve immediately: French toast is best served hot and fresh out of the oven.
