Imagine starting your day with a slice of the sumptuous Blueberry Mascarpone French Toast Bake. This luxurious dish combines the soft, pillowy texture of challah bread with the creamy richness of mascarpone and ricotta cheeses, all perfectly balanced with the tart sweetness of fresh blueberries. It’s not just breakfast; it’s an experience that elevates your morning to something truly special.
Ingredients
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 loaf challah bread
8 ounces mascarpone cheese
4 ounces ricotta cheese
1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together mascarpone cheese, ricotta cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth.
Fold blueberries gently into the cheese mixture.
Slice the challah bread and spread the blueberry mascarpone mixture between each slice. Arrange the slices in a 12×8 oven-safe baking dish, ensuring each slice has a layer of the mixture.
Pour any remaining cheese mixture into the gaps between the bread slices.
Evenly pour the egg mixture over the prepared bread, ensuring it soaks thoroughly.
Refrigerate overnight to allow the bread to soak in the egg mixture. For quicker preparation, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake for 40-45 minutes, until golden and set.
Remove from oven and dust with additional powdered sugar before serving.
