- Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Arrange half of the bread cubes in the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Top with half of the cream cheese cubes, gently pressing them into the bread.
- In a medium bowl, gently toss the mixed berries together.
- Pour the berries evenly over the cream cheese layer.

- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
