INGREDIENTS
- French Toast
- 6 eggs
- 1 ¾ cups milk
- 1 ripe Naturipe Avocado, peeled, pitted and flesh scooped out
- 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 loaf of thick-sliced bread such as brioche, challah or Texas toast
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- Toppings
- 1 cup Naturipe Blueberries
- 1 cup Naturipe Blackberries
- 1 cup Naturipe Raspberries
- 1 cup Naturipe Strawberries
- 1 Tablespoon fresh orange juice
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
- (optional splash of Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur)
DIRECTIONS
Lightly butter a 9×13 baking dish. Blend eggs, milk, avocado, maple syrup and vanilla with stick blender (or in traditional blender) until smooth. Pour into medium shallow bowl. Lightly dip both sides of each slice of bread in avocado custard base and lay slices flat in baking dish, overlapping slightly to fit. Pour remaining custard base over top and sprinkle with brown sugar. Cover dish with foil and refrigerate overnight, or at least two hours.
Remove from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for an hour if refrigerated overnight, twenty minutes if only refrigerated for a few hours.
Keep foil in place and bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes or until middle is set and top is golden brown.
Remove casserole from oven. Place topping ingredients in medium bowl and toss lightly to combine. Serve berry mixture alongside French toast casserole. Have some maple syrup or powdered sugar on hand for those who have a sweet tooth!
