Berry French Toast Bake

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 loaf Italian bread cubed
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup flavored creamer (I used Irish Cream)
  • 3/4 cup  milk
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 8 oz package cream cheese softened
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup rinsed blueberries
  • 1 cup hulled and quatered strawberries
Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Beat 3 eggs into cream and milk.  Mix in cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. 
  • Pour egg mixture over bread and set aside.

  • Mix sugar into cream cheese until smooth.
  • Spray 8x8 pan with nonstick spray.
  • Fill bottom of pan with 2/3rds of bread mixture.
  • Top with 1/2 the berries.




  • Dollop cream cheese over berries.





  • Top with remining bread and finish off with remaining berries.




  • Bake for an hour to an hour and 15 minutes checking for doneness.




***Changes I would make next time would be to use the whole loaf of bread so I have more bread mixture to cover the top.  I will probably up the eggs to 4 and the milk combo to 1 1/2 cups when I add more bread.  I would also double the cream cheese mixture.  No complaints about the original finished product though.  The kids inhaled it!

Refreshing and Easy Breakfast

This is what I've been eating for breakfast almost every morning for the last few weeks.  It's quick, easy, nutritious and delicious.

Just layer yogurt (vanilla is my choice), cut up strawberries and granola. Can't get much simpler than that.  Enjoy!
