Baked Brioche French Toast Casserole with Berries

Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange the brioche cubes evenly in the prepared dish.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the brioche cubes, ensuring all bread is thoroughly soaked. Gently press down on the bread to help it absorb the liquid.

Scatter the mixed berries over the brioche.

Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the dish from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes while the oven preheats.

Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set (a knife inserted into the center comes out clean).

Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with powdered sugar or maple syrup, if desired.
