Baked Raspberry Challah French Toast
Ingredients
Instructions
Butter a 9x13x2 inch oval baking dish and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, orange zest and salt.
Spread half of the diced bread in the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle on the raspberries in one layer.
Top with the rest of the bread.
Pour on the egg mixture, pressing down lightly to moisten the bread. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake for 60-70 minutes, until the custard is set and the top is puffed and browned. Check after 45 minutes, if the top is getting too browned, cover it lightly with aluminum foil.
Serve warm and enjoy!
