Ingredients

  • 10 slices (3/4-inch thick) French bread
  • 1 container (5.3 oz) YQ by Yoplait™ Vanilla (2/3 cup)
  • 2/3 cup half-and-half
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 containers (5.3 oz each) YQ by Yoplait™ Vanilla (1 1/3 cups)
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries

Preparation

  1. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. Place slices of bread, cut side down, in single layer in dish.
  2. In medium bowl, beat 1 container YQ, the half-and-half, egg and cinnamon with whisk until well blended. Pour YQ mixture over slices in baking dish. Let stand 10 minutes at room temperature. Turn each slice over. Cover tightly; refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  3. Heat oven to 350°F. Uncover baking dish. Drizzle melted butter over tops of slices. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until tops are light golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
  4. To serve, top slices with YQ and raspberries.

Recipe Tips

  • Make ahead! Assemble French toast bake the night before. When ready to bake, remove from refrigerator, uncover, flip bread slices one more time, and drizzle with melted butter. Bake 5 to 8 minutes longer than above recipe or until tops are light golden brown.
  • Use a serrated bread knife to easily cut bread slices. Discard loaf ends so each slice will readily soak up egg mixture.
  • Also look for YQ by Yoplait™ Vanilla in the larger 26 oz container.
