Time 2h40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 loaf challah, cut into 3/4-inch-thick slices
1 1/4 pounds Bosc pears (3 to 4), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced lengthwise
9 ounces raspberries (1 1/2 cups)
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
8 large eggs
2 cups whole milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Arrange bread, pears, and raspberries evenly in overlapping layers in a 2 1/2-to-3-quart baking dish. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla; whisk to thoroughly combine. Pour egg mixture evenly over bread and fruits; press with palms to fully submerge. Cover and let stand at room temperature 1 hour, or refrigerate up to 1 day.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir together remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over top of bread and fruits. Bake until puffed, golden brown on top, and set, 55 to 65 minutes (if browning too quickly, tent with foil). Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

This was a great recipe for a special occasion breakfast. It's a little more work than your average French toast, but it's worth it.

This recipe was a little too sweet for my taste. I would probably use less sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my French toast turned out really soggy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This was an okay recipe. The French toast was a little dry, and the pears and raspberries didn't really add much flavor. I wouldn't make this again.
