Strawberry Cheesecake Baked French Toast Casserole
Instructions
1
|
Preheat oven to 350°F.
2
|
Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish liberally with nonstick cooking spray.
3
|
Cut bread into 1-inch cubes and roughly chop the strawberries. Set bread aside in a large mixing bowl, and strawberries in a separate bowl.
4
|
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and combined. Add the bread cubes and strawberries, and fold with a rubber spatula to thoroughly coat the bread.
5
|
In a separate bowl, use a mixer to beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract for 1-2 minutes, or until smooth.
6
|
Add half of bread mixture to baking dish. Spoon half of the cream cheese mixture over the bread cubes. Repeat with remaining halves of the bread and cream cheese mixtures.
7
|
Bake French toast on the middle rack of oven until it is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center of a piece comes out clean, 45-50 minutes.
8
|
Check to see that French toast is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
9
|
Allow French toast to cool in dish for at least 10 minutes. Prior to serving, plate toast (cut as desired), then sift powdered sugar over the top. Refrigerate leftovers for 2-3 days.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Bread Selection Magic 🍞Use slightly stale challah bread for the best texture, as day-old bread absorbs the custard more evenly without becoming soggy.
- Cream Cheese Smoothness 🧀Bring cream cheese to room temperature before mixing to ensure a completely smooth cheesecake filling with no lumps.
- Strawberry Prep Pro 🍓Slice strawberries just before assembling to prevent excess moisture, and pat them dry with paper towels to maintain the casserole's ideal consistency.
- Make-Ahead Master 🕰️Assemble the casserole the night before and refrigerate overnight for maximum flavor infusion and easier morning preparation.
- Golden Brown Perfection 🌟Cover the casserole with foil for the first half of baking to prevent over-browning, then uncover to achieve a beautiful golden top.
