Ingredients

French Toast Bake

  • 1 container (8 oz) pineapple cream cheese spread
  • 1 loaf (1 lb) French bread (about 18 inches long), cut into 24 (3/4-inch-thick) slices
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

Topping

  • 3 cups fresh strawberries
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons amaretto, if desired
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Steps

  • 1
    Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. Spread about 1 tablespoon cream cheese on each of 12 bread slices. Top with remaining bread slices to make 12 sandwiches. Place sandwiches in baking dish to cover bottom of pan.
  • 2
    In medium bowl, beat eggs. Add milk, 1/4 cup sugar, the salt and cinnamon; beat well. Pour over sandwiches in baking dish. Let stand at room temperature 5 minutes. Turn sandwiches over. Cover; refrigerate about 8 hours or overnight.
  • 3
    Chop 1 cup of the strawberries. (Refrigerate remaining berries.) In nonmetal bowl, gently stir together chopped strawberries, 1/4 cup sugar and the amaretto. Cover; refrigerate about 8 hours or overnight.
  • 4
    Heat oven to 400°F. Uncover baking dish; drizzle sandwiches with melted butter. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
  • 5
    Meanwhile, slice remaining strawberries and add with blueberries to chilled strawberry mixture; mix lightly. Serve French toast with berry topping.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Use a serrated bread knife to easily cut through the bread slices. Discard the loaf ends so each slice will readily soak up the egg mixture.
  • tip 2
    This is a great recipe to serve guests for breakfast since you can make it the night before.
