Strawberries and Cream French Toast Casserole

Most of our mornings are spent outside lately, especially on the weekends. I don’t have a lot of time to spend making breakfast, but still like to occasionally make something special. This Strawberries and Cream French Toast Casserole is prepared the night before and refrigerated, so in the morning I only have to put it in the oven and it is ready in less than an hour.

Day old, slightly stale bread is best. I used homemade french bread. With the peak of strawberry season, this would make a great breakfast for the upcoming July 4th holiday (Updated photos on May 10, 2017: It would also be perfect for Mother’s Day brunch!).

A reader brought up the delicious idea of mixing in cubes of cream cheese.

    Do you have to refrigerate the night before or can you bake it immediately after preparing it?

      The only issue I would see with baking it immediately is the texture. You want to give the bread time to soak in the cream and egg mixture. Also the baking time may differ a bit since the casserole won’t be chilled. I haven’t personally tried it, so don’t know exact times.

    This dish is yummy as is but I would add some cream cheese cubes for a strawberry and cream effect.

    What an interesting recipe, you have turned French toast into something equally delicious with a slightly different texture being baked

    I love when you can prepare something the night before and just bake it off when you need it. This would be an amazing treat for my mother’s day get together.
