Ingredients

The following ingredients have 9 Servings
  • 1 loaf (about 12 ounces soft Italian bread or white bread)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (cold)
  • 10 ounces chopped strawberries
  • 4 ounces whole raspberries
  • 8 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups 360ml whole milk
  • 3/4 cup 150g granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup 56g unsalted butter, melted

Instruction

  • Slice bread into 1-inch cubes. Cut cream cheese into small cubes. Place half of the bread cubes in the prepared dish. Top evenly with the cubes of cream cheese and half of the berries. Top with remaining bread cubes and berries.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla. Using a whisk, mix them together well until thoroughly combined. Whisk in the butter and immediately pour over the layered bread and berries in the dish.
  • Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cover dish with foil during baking if the edges appear to be browning too much. (I didn’t have to use foil, but all ovens are different and some run hot!)
  • Serve warm. Accompany with maple syrup and whipped cream, if desired.
