Ingredients
- 16 ounces french or brioche bread crusts removed, and cut into cubes
- 8 ounces cream cheese cubed
- 4 cups sliced fresh strawberries
- 10 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract optional
- pinch of salt
- powdered sugar for garnish
Instructions
- Layer half of the bread cubes over the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch dish.
- Place the cream cheese cubes over the bread cubes.
- Layer the sliced strawberries over the cream cheese, and cover with the remaining bread cubes.
- Combine the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract if using, and pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Mix well.
- Pour the egg mixture over the bread, and smoosh the bread down a little so that the bread can absorb the egg mixture.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Take the pan out of the refrigerator and leave out while preheating the oven to 375F.
- Uncover and bake for about 30-40 minutes.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes
- Bread: You can use other types of bread (Italian, Challah) if you prefer.
- Cream cheese: It will work better if the cream cheese is cold when you cube it. Also, I used the 1/3 less fat cream cheese, though I wouldn't recommend using fat-free cream cheese.
- Strawberries: I've only used fresh strawberries in this recipe.
- Milk: Any milk, from skim to whole milk will work. Nondairy milk, like almond milk, will also work.
- Sugar: Depending on how sweet your strawberries are (or aren't), you may want to add more or less sugar.
