Ingredients * Red Berry Sauce: * 1 6-ounce package fresh blueberries * 1 6-ounce package fresh raspberries * 1 4.4-ounce package fresh blackberries * 3/4 cup sugar * French Toast: * 6 large eggs * 4 1/2-inch-thick slices brioche bread, halved diagonally * 3 tablespoons butter * 1/4 cup sugar * 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon * 1/3 cup creme fraiche * Assorted fresh berries Cooking Instructions To prepare the red berry sauce: Combine all the berries and sugar in a blender and puree until smooth. Strain the berry puree through a fine sieve, discarding the seeds, and into a small saucepan. Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat and keep warm while preparing the French toast. To prepare the French toast: Using a fork, beat the eggs in a 13x9 baking dish to blend. Place the slices of brioche in the eggs and let stand for 5 minutes, or until the eggs are absorbed, turning the brioche slices once. Melt the butter on a heavy large griddle pan over medium heat. Add the brioche slices to the hot pan and cook for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown on the outside and heated through. Meanwhile, stir the sugar and cinnamon on a large plate; set aside. Immediately place the hot French toast in the cinnamon-sugar and turn to coat completely. Divide the French toast among 4 serving plates. Top with a dollop of crème fraiche. Spoon the berry puree over the French toast. Scatter the fresh berries over and serve immediately.
