2 cups Strawberries, sliced ripe berries are best for a naturally sweet flavor.
1 cup Heavy Cream adds richness for a delightful creaminess.
½ cup Milk feel free to substitute almond or oat milk for a lighter option.
1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract elevates the flavor profile beautifully.
6 large Eggs binds the mixture while providing protein for a hearty breakfast.
1 teaspoon Cinnamon adds a warm spice essence that complements the strawberries.
8 slices Challah or Brioche Bread these sweet breads soak up the egg mixture nicely.
¼ cup Sugar balances the tartness of the strawberries perfectly.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, heavy cream, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar. Whisk until smooth and well blended—about 2-3 minutes.
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer the bread slices evenly in the dish.
Pour the custard mixture over the bread, ensuring each slice is fully submerged.
Layer the sliced strawberries on top of the soaked bread and press gently to infuse their flavor.
Cover with foil and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, removing the foil for the last 10 minutes for a golden top.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving warm, garnished with additional strawberries if desired.

The longer you let the bread soak, the creamier the final dish! Aim for at least 30 minutes, but overnight is best for maximum flavor.
