Ingredients
- 16 oz. challah bread
- 6 egg large
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 cups milk I used almond milk
- 1 cup vanilla protein powder 90g
- 2 cups strawberries
- 4 oz. cream cheese room temp (I used reduced fat)
- 2 Tbsp powdered sugar
Instructions
- Cut bread into 1-inch cubes. Add to a 9×13-dish greased baking dish and arrange in a single layer.
- To a large bowl, add the eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, milk and protein powder. Whisk well to combine.
- Pour over the bread in the baking dish, tossing around to saturate all the bread.
- Remove the stems from the strawberries and cut in half. Tuck in between the slices of bread.
- Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together. Spoon evenly over the french toast bake. If time allows, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 24 hours.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until baked through. Cover with foil if needed to minimize browning.
- Serve with maple syrup. Sprinkle with more powdered sugar if desired and enjoy!
Notes
- Store in covered or in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- To freeze: let cool completely then slice into individual servings. Wrap each piece individually in plastic wrap or tin foil and place in freezer ziplock bag (this helps prevent freezer burn). Freeze for up to 3 months.
- Use Up Your Stale Bread! I love using stale bread (or any “day-old piece of bread") for this strawberry and cream french toast casserole because dry bread soaks up the mixture even better! The dryer the bread to more it will soak up the egg mixture and bake up to crispy, fluffy golden brown perfection!
