For an extra touch of elegance, dust the baked French toast with powdered sugar before serving. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream, fresh strawberries, and a drizzle of maple syrup or your favorite strawberry syrup. Day-old bread works best for this recipe as it absorbs the egg mixture more effectively without becoming soggy. Feel free to experiment with other berries such as raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries for a unique twist. Make ahead: Assemble the French toast the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake as directed in the morning, adding an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if needed.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Generously grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. (5 minutes)
02
StepArrange the bread slices in the prepared baking pan, slightly overlapping. Tuck the strawberry slices between and around the bread, ensuring every piece gets a taste of berry goodness. (10 minutes)
03
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, lemon zest, almond extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined. (5 minutes)
04
StepPour the egg mixture evenly over the bread slices, making sure to saturate each piece. Gently press down on the top of the bread to help it absorb the liquid. Allow the mixture to stand for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the bread to soak up all the delicious flavors. (20 minutes)
05
StepBake in the center of the preheated oven until the bread is firm to the touch and the top is golden brown and crispy, about 45 to 55 minutes. (50 minutes)
