Saw this on one of Rachel Ray's programs and just had to make it for our Sunrise Service at church today. I used raspberries because that is what I had on hand. Everyone loved it!!! The bread has to be hardened overnight, so you will need to start this the night before.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 lb loaf crusty French bread, sliced
10 large eggs
1/4 cup sugar, plus
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 pint heavy cream
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 (12 ounce) bag frozen blackberries or 3/4 pint fresh berries

Steps:

  • The night before.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
  • Slice the bread and spread on a large cookie sheet.
  • Place in oven, turn oven off, and let bread set in oven overnight (since I have a gas oven, I just set the bread in the oven overnight, the pilot light hardened it enough).
  • The next morning.
  • Whisk the eggs and 1/4 cup sugar until all the yolks are broken.
  • Add the milk and cream and whisk a little more.
  • Put the dried bread pieces on top of the egg mixture.
  • Wait a few minutes, then push the rest of the bread into the mixture and mix lightly.
  • Grease a bundt pan and place half of the bread mixture in the pan to cover the botton.
  • Spoon the berries over the bread and sprinkle berries with the 1 Tablespoon sugar.
  • Spoon the remainder of the bread over the berries and pour the remaining liquid over the top.
  • Brush the top with the melted butter.
  • Bake at 325 for 1 hour or until toothpick insterted comes out clean.
  • Cut and serve, while hot.
  • Serve with powdered sugar or syrup drizzled over the top.
