How to Make Strawberry Mascarpone French Toast
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, 6 large eggs, 1 cup heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Cut 1 loaf (about 1 pound) challah bread or brioche into 1-inch thick slices. Add bread to the egg mixture, stirring gently to coat.
- Pour half of the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, gently combine 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, ½ cup granulated sugar, and 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced.
- Spoon the mascarpone mixture evenly over the bread in the baking dish.
- Top with the remaining bread mixture, pressing down gently.
- Drizzle melted unsalted butter (2 tablespoons) over the top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving warm.
- **Make-Ahead Instructions:** After step 9, cover the casserole and refrigerate for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 1 month. If frozen, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and let come to room temperature for 30 minutes before baking as directed (step 10).
