How to cook deliciously - Baked Strawberry French Toast

1 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease or spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

2 . Stage

Slice the bread into 16 slices using a sharp knife. Save the ends to use in another dish, or discard. Arrange the bread slices in the prepared baking pan. Tuck strawberry slices between and around the bread.

3 . Stage

Whisk eggs, milk, cream, sugar, lemon zest, almond extract, and salt together until well combined.

4 . Stage

Pour the egg mixture over the bread slices. Press down on the top of the bread to help the egg absorb; it's okay if a little is in the bottom of the pan. Let stand for 15 to 20 minutes.

5 . Stage

Bake in the center of the preheated oven until the bread is firm when gently pressed and the top is crispy and golden, 45 to 55 minutes. Unknown
