Ingredients

1 La Brea Bakery French Baguette, cut into ¾-inch-thick slices

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, cut into bits

8 eggs

1 cup milk

½ pint fresh blueberries

½ pint fresh raspberries

Butter for serving

Maple syrup for serving

In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk and vanilla. Soak the bread slices in the mixture for 5-10 minutes. In a large heavy skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over moderate heat and cook 3-4 slices at a time. Cook for 3 minutes on each side, or until puffed and golden brown. Cook the remaining pieces of bread in the same manner.

Serve immediately with additional butter, maple syrup and fresh berries.
