If you are looking for that perfect dish to make for Easter or Mother’s Day brunch, or pretty much any day of the year, I found it. This delicious make-ahead breakfast casserole is always a crowd pleaser.

Overnight Mixed Berry French Toast Casserole - Lauren Kelly Nutrition

I personally do not cook on Mother’s Day (probably the only day of the year ๐Ÿ˜‰ ) because it’s nice to have a break.  We usually go out for brunch every year because my hubby doesn’t cook.  He is a world class griller, but he doesn’t cook.

I personally would be THRILLED if someone made this for me (hint, hint).  Everyone loved my Overnight French Toast Casserole so much (it’s in The Greek Yogurt Cookbook!) that I knew I had to add some fruit to it.  

We love our blueberry waffles and pancakes already, so why not add it to french toast?   You really can not go wrong.

It was a huge success. And who doesn’t love something that can be made ahead of time and just pop it in the oven when it’s time to eat?

This is especially convenient on those busy days when you don’t have the time in the morning to prep it. That is why I make this for Easter, Christmas and all of my kids’ birthdays when I don’t have the time to prep it that early in the morning.

I am getting wonderful responses about this French Toast Casserole. I love hearing all of the positive reviews and comments from you guys.

You really don’t need any additional maple syrup, this french toast is sweet enough on its own.  It looks fancy enough for guests, but takes minutes to prepare.  

Kind of perfect, right?

I have made this and my regular Overnight French Toast Casserole so many times without any extra maple syrup and my kids don’t even ask for it anymore. They also realize that it is perfectly sweet enough without it.

Especially this one with all of the naturally sweet berries. I promise.

Just recently I used Challah bread to make this instead of my regular 100% whole what bread and boy was it fluffy and incredible. My friend just told me that she made this using Trader Joe’s Brioche bread and was in love with that as well.

I always love to hear your suggestions and additions because you guys always have such great ideas and I love to try them. Please continue to share any substitutions that you use with my recipes.

Someone else also told me that she made this with bananas and strawberries which sounds delicious. I already love my Strawberry Banana Baked Oatmeal and my Strawberry Banana Muffins so I definitely need to try that next.

I bet the bananas caramelize and taste delicious. That is definitely a must make for my family.
