Berry Stuffed Baked French Toast

Wake up to this yummy Berry Stuffed French Toast ... it's the perfect breakfast or brunch treat!

I used to be a morning person. I'd pop out of bed the minute my alarm went off.

Growing up, my sister was the exact opposite. Her alarm would go off at top volume, waking up everyone but her. Someone would inevitably go in her room and tell her to turn it off. She'd finally hit snooze, and then the same scene would repeat 10 minutes later!

Now I'm not quite that bad, but I can't seem to resist hitting that snooze button a few times myself lately. But even though I like to sleep in, you won't find me skipping breakfast.

Usually I keep breakfast simple. Some days I crave something more indulgent though, like this Berry Stuffed Baked French Toast!

Berry Stuffed Baked French Toast

This baked French toast is ideal for those mornings when you plan to hit snooze as many times as possible. Just get everything ready the night before and pop it in the oven when you get up. Easy peasy.

Better than easy, however, is decadent! This French toast is stuffed with a lightly sweetened berry cream cheese mixture, and baked until crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle. Then, it's topped with more fresh berries ... mmm, so good!

Give this Berry Stuffed Baked French Toast a try the next time you plan to sleep in!
