Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and evenly distribute the bread cubes into the dish.
  4. Sprinkle the sliced strawberries evenly over the bread cubes.
  5. Pour the custard mixture over the bread and strawberries, pressing down to help the bread absorb the mixture.
  6. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.
  7. Remove the foil and bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown and custard is set.
  8. Let it cool for a few minutes, then serve warm, garnished with additional strawberries or a drizzle of cream.
