  • 9x13 Baking Dish

Instructions

  • Combine eggs, sugar and milk (along with any optional add-ins) in a large bowl and whisk or blend with an immersion blender until well combined.

  • Serve immediately and top with butter and powdered sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup and fresh berries.

Notes

Recipe Tips & Tricks:
  • Stale Bread - As mentioned, this is a great recipe for bread that's past its prime! To get stale bread, simply cube the bread about 12 hours before assembling the recipe and leave it out at room temperature. If you don't have time to allow your bread to get stale, you can arrange the cubes on a cookie sheet and bake them for 10 minutes at 350°F.
  • Optional Add-Ins - Mix in fresh, frozen or freeze dried berries before baking for an added touch! 
  • Toppings - The topping options for this recipe are endless, but our favorite is melting butter on top and dusting with powdered sugar.
