How to Make Make Ahead French Toast With Strawberry Sauce
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 13x9-inch baking pan.
- Arrange half of the challah bread (6 cups, cubed) in the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle evenly with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
- Top with the remaining 6 cups cubed challah bread.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 ½ cups milk, ½ cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, gently pressing down to ensure the bread is fully saturated. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Bake, covered, for 25 minutes.
- Uncover and bake for another 20 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
- While the casserole bakes, prepare the strawberry sauce: In a small saucepan, combine 1 pint (2 cups) sliced fresh strawberries, ½ cup strawberry preserves, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Cook over low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the strawberries soften and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve the warm French toast casserole immediately, topped with the delicious strawberry sauce.
