Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread
- 8 large eggs
- 2 ½ cups whole milk
- 1 tbsp. vanilla
- ¾ tsp. ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp. salt
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup strawberries diced
- 1 cup blueberries
- Maple syrup, for serving
- powdered sugar, for serving
For the streusel topping:
- ¼ cup unsalted butter cold, cut into cubes
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ¼ tsp. ground cinnamon
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Make the streusel first: combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Then cut in the butter (I usually just use my fingers for this part) and mix/press into the dry ingredients until it’s crumbly. Cover and place in the fridge.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and sugar.
- Grease a 9x13 pan with baking spray. Tear the French bread into pieces and place in the prepared 9x13 pan. Pour this over the French bread. Pour evenly so no bread pieces are left dry.
- Add the diced strawberries and blueberries over the top.
- Cover tightly and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Sprinkle the streusel all over the top.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until set. Allow to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy with more fresh berries, powdered sugar, or maple syrup.

Notes
- Make ahead: For the overnight option, be sure to keep the streusel on the side until you're ready to bake.
- Storage: store any leftovers in an air-tight container for 3-4 days.
- Variations: toss in some chocolate chips between the bread layers, add some pumpkin pie spice for a Fall twist, and serve with whipped cream; add bananas and walnuts, or for a savory spin, add in sausage, bacon, feta, cheddar, or a variety of sauteed veggies like mushrooms, bell peppers, or onions.
