Ingredients

Bread

  • 14-16 ounces day-old french bread (or challah or similar loaf*)
  • 6 ounces blueberries (about 1 cup)
  • 6 ounces raspberries (about 1 cup)
  • 3/4 cup quartered strawberries
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup liquid egg whites (equal to 5 large egg whites)
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 cups non-dairy milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Toppings

  • cream cheese (baked into French toast (see notes))
  • confectioners sugar (for topping)
  • whipped cream (for topping)

Instructions 

  • Slice bread into 1" cubes and place in a greased 9x13 inch dish. Add most berries on top.
  • Whisk eggs, egg whites, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla. Pour over bread, pressing down to soak. Add remaining berries on top.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Before baking, let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Use day-old bread for best texture. Feel free to customize toppings and berries.
