Notes

Ingredient Notes
  • Fresh or stale challah bread can be used for this recipe.
  • Whole milk can be substituted for the Half & Half.
  • Any desired combination of berries can be used or a single type of berry. The amount should be equivalent to 1 1/2 cups.
How to store leftovers
  • Store any leftovers store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat in the microwave before serving.
  • Individual servings can also be quickly reheated in a hot large nonstick skillet or cast iron skillet in a bit of melted unsalted butter! It will give the slices a nice crust. Serve with real maple syrup.
