This Raspberry-Almond Baked French Toast is a delightful twist on the classic breakfast dish, combining the sweetness of raspberries with the crunch of almonds.
Grease a baking dish and arrange the bread slices in a single layer.
Using slightly stale bread helps it absorb the custard better.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar until well combined.
Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved for a smooth custard.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread slices, ensuring all pieces are soaked.
Press the bread gently to help it absorb the custard.
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Overnight chilling allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the soaked bread, then dot with butter.
Distribute the toppings evenly for consistent flavor.
Bake the dish uncovered for 25 minutes, then sprinkle with fresh raspberries and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Let the dish cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Raspberry-Almond Baked French Toast!
Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
