Serves

Total Time

1 hour plus 8 hours hands-off time

Ingredients

1 tablespoon organic butter for greasing the casserole dish

6 cups cubed or torn chunks gluten-free bread or Natural Grocers Organic Sprouted Bread

8 free-range eggs

2 1⁄2 cups whole organic milk or dairy-free milk alternative

1⁄2 teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Real Salt

2 tablespoons organic vanilla extract

1 cup Natural Grocers Brand Organic Preserves, like Triple Berry

Optional for serving: organic butter, Natural Grocers Brand Organic Grade A Dark Maple Syrup, organic fresh blueberries or berry of your choice, or Natural Grocers Brand Organic Frozen Blueberries

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x13-inch casserole dish. Lay the pieces of torn or cubed bread on a baking sheet, and toast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to partially dry the bread. Take the toasted pieces of bread and evenly distribute them in the casserole dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and vanilla. Pour evenly over the bread. Gently press the bread into the egg mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight to let the bread soak up the egg mixture.
In the morning, remove the French toast from the fridge and preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the French toast for about 35 minutes, until the egg mixture is almost set. About five minutes before the French toast is done, heat the preserves in a small saucepan over low heat until it is warm but not bubbling. Take the French toast out of the oven and spread the preserves evenly over the top, place back in the oven, and bake for 10 minutes more. Once done, cut into pieces and serve immediately with maple syrup and berries, if desired.
