Raspberry Baked French Toast
Raspberry Baked French Toast uses thick slices of Hawaiian bread soaked overnight in an egg and cream custard with fresh raspberries nestled inside. Baking covered then uncovered creates a tender, custardy interior with a lightly browned top. Lightly dusted with powdered sugar and served with maple syrup, it offers a fruity twist on the classic baked French toast, combining rich texture and bright berry flavor.
