This french toast amazing! The strawberry and cream cheese combo sounds delicious. Overnight bakes like this are my favorites for the weekends, so I can't wait to make again.

The perfect make-ahead breakfast or brunch. Best of all, bursting with strawberries and cream cheese.

Ingredients

• 1 16 ounce 450 g loaf of French bread, sourdough bread, or challah (day old bread works best), cut into 1-inch cubes with the ends discarded
• 1/2 cup cream cheese softened (optional - leave out if preferred)
• 1 1/2 - 2 cups sliced strawberries divided
• 6 large eggs
• 1 1/4 cups milk I used almond
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
• 1/4 cup brown sugar optional - add if you like your french toast sweeter - I left it out since we usually drizzle with maple syrup once baked
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter cold and cubed
