Ingredients

Casserole:

½ a loaf of French bread, about 10 oz, cut into cubes
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
6 eggs
1 3/4 cups milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
12 oz frozen mixed berries

Topping:

1 Tablespoon cold butter
2 Tablespoon packed brown sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 13x9 inch baking pan and set aside. Remove berries from freezer and allow to thaw slightly while you prepare the casserole.
In a small sauce pan, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium heat. Once butter has melted, stir in 1/2 cup brown sugar until dissolved and mixture is smooth. Pour mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 pan and spread evenly.
Add bread cubes to the pan, spreading over the top of the brown sugar/butter mixture. Spread thawed berries over the top.
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Pour egg mixture over the top of bread cubes, ensuring that all pieces of bread are saturated. Cut together the remaining 2 Tablespoons brown sugar and 1 Tablespoon butter with a fork and sprinkle on over the top. Cover pan with foil.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil from pan and return to oven for 30 more minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Enjoy!
