Very Berry French Toast

This recipe is really good for when you have to make breakfast, or brunch, for a crowd but don't want to stand at the stove all morning flipping pancakes. Or french toast. People are always asking me for the recipe for this. Well, one friend did. And my mother. And if you have leftovers it's good heated and served for dessert!

p.s. Costco sells a large bag of frozen mixed berries which works perfectly for this recipe.

2 cups frozen blueberries
1-1/2 cups frozen blackberries
1-1/2 cups frozen raspberries
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Cooking spray
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 large eggs
1 loaf French bread, cut into 1-inch slices (slightly stale works best)
1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine first 6 ingredients and pour into a 9X13 inch baking dish coated with cooking spracy.

Whisk together milk, vanilla, and eggs in a shallow dish. Add bread, turning to coat. Let stand 5 minutes, turning bread occasionally. Arrange bread in a single layer over berries. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until bread is golden brown and fruit is bubbly. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
