We had this at a brunch at my friend Dot's house. She had modified it significantly, and I've modified it further. Here's the recipe as originally written.
5 eggs
3/4 C. milk
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1 Tbsp. vanilla
1 loaf French bread, sliced into thick slices
frozen berries
sliced bananas
1 C. sugar (I only use about 1/3-1/2 C.)
1 Tbsp. apple pie spice (opt.)
cinnamon sugar
Combine eggs, milk, baking powder, and vanilla. Place bread in shallow dish and pour egg mixture over bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
In the morning, preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine strawberries, bananas, sugar, and spice. (Any fruit will do. Dot used frozen mixed berries and less sugar. I use a lot less sugar.)
Spoon fruit mixture in bottom of large, greased baking dish. Place bread in a single layer over fruit. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and bake 20-25 minutes. Makes 8 servings.
NOTE: Dot spooned this out to serve it, but I like to dump it over and serve it like upside-down cake. Yum!
