Fruitcake French Toast Recipe

Ratings

Prep min.

Let’s be honest—does anyone actually eat fruitcake? There’s even a day dedicated to ditching holiday fruitcakes (National Fruitcake Toss Day on January 3rd). Bread and fruit are two of our favorite things, but we prefer to combine them in a more appealing manner. Let’s all replace one of the worst holiday foods with one of the best: Toss the Fruitcake French Toast. It’s an overnight French toast casserole that you can prep in the evening, then roll out of bed, bake, and indulge. Here’s how:

Ingredients

Serving Size: 1

8 tablespoons butter, melted

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 loaf soft Italian bread

1 cup frozen mixed berries

8 eggs

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

powdered sugar and pure maple syrup

Directions

Mix melted butter and brown sugar together and pour into the bottom of an 8x8-inch baking dish. Slice bread into 1-inch slices and arrange in overlapping slices in the dish. Fill gaps between bread slices with frozen fruit.

Add eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg to your Whiskware™ Batter Mixer and shake until well combined. Pour mixture over the bread and berries. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours.

To cook, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake until golden brown, about 35-45 minutes. Serve sprinkled with powdered sugar and maple syrup.
