Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

For French toast
3 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (1-lb) challah loaf, cut crosswise into 12 (1/2-inch-thick) slices (not including end pieces)
3 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
For berry sauce
3 cups mixed berries such as blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries
1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar (depending on sweetness of berries)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Garnish: confectioners sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Prepare French toast:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, and salt until blended. Pour into a large baking pan and soak bread slices in 1 layer, turning once, 8 minutes.
  • Prepare berry sauce while bread is soaking:
  • Purée 1 1/2 cups berries with sugar and lemon juice in a blender. If you want to eliminate seeds, force purée through a very fine sieve into a bowl. Transfer to a serving bowl and fold in remaining berries.
  • Cook French toast:
  • Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet or griddle over moderately high heat until foam subsides. Transfer 4 soaked bread slices to skillet with a slotted spatula and cook until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side. Cook remaining bread in 2 batches, adding more butter as needed. Transfer slices as cooked to a large shallow baking pan (using a clean spatula) and, when all are browned, bake in middle of oven until hot, about 5 minutes.
  • Serve French toast with berry sauce.

I would have liked the berry sauce to be a little sweeter.

The challah bread was perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The berry sauce was the perfect finishing touch.
