Berry French Toast Bake is a simple breakfast casserole that you put together the night before and bake in the morning. It is a great breakfast to serve to overnight guests or have for a special Sunday breakfast.
Fresh berries are the stars here and they give the bake lots of flavor. It is slightly sweetened with brown sugar and can be served just as is or you can serve it with maple syrup if you want some additional sweetness.
This recipe is meant to sit overnight in order to completely absorb the wet ingredients into the bread.

Place the raspberries. blueberries, and strawberries evenly over the bread, tucking them down in between the cubes. Pour the milk mixture over the bread cubes in the pan. Make sure that all the cubes are covered in the mixture. Cover with a foil or plastic wrap and place into the refrigerator overnight. THE NEXT MORNING: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the cover from the pan. Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of brown sugar evenly over the top of the casserole. Bake for 50-55 minutes, until the top is completely formed and golden brown.
