Challah French Toast With Berry Sauce

1.INGREDIENTS

-3 large eggs
-1 cup whole milk
-1 teaspoon sugar
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-1 (1 pound) challah loaf, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices (not including end pieces)
-3 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
-3 cups mixed berries such as blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries
-1/3 cup sugar
-1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
-Garnish: confectioners sugar for dusting

2.COOKING DIRECTIONS

-Prepare French toast: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

-Whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, and salt until blended. Pour into a large baking pan and soak bread slices in 1 layer, turning once, 8 minutes.

-Prepare berry sauce while bread is soaking: Puree 1 1/2 cups berries with sugar and lemon juice in a blender. If you want to eliminate seeds, force puree through a very fine sieve into a bowl. Transfer to a serving bowl and fold in remaining berries.

-Cook French toast: Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet or griddle over moderately high heat until foam subsides. Transfer 4 soaked bread slices to skillet with a slotted spatula and cook until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side. Cook remaining bread in 2 batches, adding more butter as needed. Transfer slices as cooked to a large shallow baking pan (using a clean spatula) and, when all are browned, bake in middle of oven until hot, about 5 minutes.

-Serve French toast with berry sauce.
