For an extra touch of flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the egg mixture. If you don't have Italian bread, challah or brioche also work well. Feel free to experiment with different types of berries in the sauce, such as raspberries or strawberries. To prevent the top from browning too quickly, you can cover it with foil for the last 15 minutes of baking.
