Berry Nutella French Toast Bake, BEST BREAKFAST EVER! Easy make-ahead breakfast french toast casserole with fresh berries, nutella, and chocolate chips! | The Cookie RookieI am NOT a morning person.  I’ve always found it hard to leave my comfy-pet-filled-bed in the mornings.  BUT I have an announcement to make.  An exciting announcement that makes me want to wake up early, eat a delicious breakfast, and start the day.  (No…I’m not pregnant…)

I cannot believe I just typed that sentence.  It doesn’t feel real.  Somebody pinch me!!! Or actually, pass the Berry Nutella French Toast.

Berry Nutella French Toast Bake, BEST BREAKFAST EVER! Easy make-ahead breakfast french toast casserole with fresh berries, nutella, and chocolate chips! | The Cookie RookieI started The Cookie Rookie back in 2012 with my mom.  It started as a hobby.  As a way to learn how to cook and document the journey.  All of a sudden (I guess two years later doesn’t really qualify as all of a sudden…) it’s become so much more.  Mom and I have both learned so much.  She was already a pro in the kitchen, but she now has her own GORGEOUS blog, Simply Sated.  I have learned so much about cooking, baking, and myself.  This blog is the first thing in my life that I have truly created.  Yes I’ve baked bread, made cookies, fried goat cheese, and everything in between.  photo 2 (3)

But more importantly I’ve also found my passion.  I figured out (or at least am trying to figure out) the business side of blogging, graduated through three different types of cameras, become an LLC, worked with amazing brands, made life-long friends, and now have been able to quit my full-time job to do what I truly love: taking pictures and typing silly things on the internet for you to read.  I feel so excited to focus on it full time!

I know that any success big or small is because you come back to read these posts and see these recipes like Berry Nutella French Toast Bake.

Ingredients

  • 1 8-oz. loaf French bread, sliced into thick slices
  • 1.5 cups eggwhites (I use All Whites Brand) (or 8 large eggs)
  • 2 cups skim mikl
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup Nutella, melted
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 cup blackberries
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  2. Arrange bread in a tight, flat layer in dish. The bread should be as close together as possible.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk eggs with milk, sugar and melted nutella until blended. Pour over bread.
  4. Arrange berries over the bread. I made sure to place a berry in an gap between pieces of bread. Use as many berries as you like!
  5. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the top.
  6. Cover tightly and refrigerate for 6-8 hours (overnight is best)
  7. Remove baking dish from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F. Pour cream into a small pan; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to low heat and simmer until reduced by half, about 10-12 minutes.
  9. Drizzle over berries and bake, uncovered, until casserole is lightly browned on top and just cooked through, 50 to 55 minutes.
  10. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
  11. Also good served with a dollop of cool whip, if you're having an especially great morning!

  6. Good morning Becky and congratulations for making this decision, especially it seems that you are thrilled with the idea of working a full time job from the comfort of your own home. Sitting around in your jammies, if you so desire, sounds like the perfect outfit to work in. And not having to brave the inclement weather is also a huge plus, as well as being home with your 4 legged friends. Good luck on your new adventure.

  18. Hi, could you please clarify somethings with your recipe. How thick are these pieces of french bread supposed to be? More than an inch? I'm making this and it looks like a bunch of bread floating in a chocolate liquid. I imagine over time the bread will absorb some of the mix poured over it, but the amount of Egg Whites, Milk, and Nutella just seems out of balance for the amount of bread you've specified. Thank you very much for your time.
