Mixed Berry French Toast Bake

This Mixed Berry French Toast Bake is a breakfast or brunch the whole family will love.

Your weekend breakfast doesn't get much easier than this. You just need to put in 5 minutes the night before, then another few minutes in the morning, pop it in the oven and wait for the oven to do all the hard work.

My Secret Recipe Club  assignment this month introduced me to Our Eating Habits . This lovely food blog is hosted by Jamie, who loves to cook, bake, and find great new restaurants. She creates beautiful meals and baked treats for her family and I had a blast reading through all her work.

I stopped in my tracks when I found her Mixed Berry French Toast Bake recipe and knew that this was the one I had to try. The recipe is so simple and so easy to follow. The end result is absolutely delightful, and was thoroughly enjoyed on a Saturday morning :)

If you're only a household of two, like us, then you'll be pleased to hear that this French Toast Bake keeps very well and reheats beautifully (in the oven to keep the lovely crispy top, of course!).
