Berry French Toast
Yield: 6 servingsSource: Cooking Light Magazine - April 2004
CL Comments: This dish is great for lazy mornings when you don't feel like standing at the stove. Egg-rich French toast bakes atop a mixture of sweetened berries.
Amy's Comments: This was good but it was soupy. Im thinking next time I will start the berries a little before the bread goes on and I might also kick the heat up a little at the end (as a reviewer on cl.com suggested). Good, nice change from reg. french toast, but not nearly as exciting as I was hoping. DEFINITELY use frozen berries. I used fresh raspberries since they didn't have any frozen (weird, huh?) and the rest frozen. The fresh got so mushy.
