Baked Strawberries and Cream French Toast

The most impressive make-ahead breakfast! So easy with 15min prep. Just pop it right in the oven before serving!

Say howdy to the most impressive breakfast/brunch item of your lives.

I mean, look at how pretty this is! Except no one will guess this took just 15 min of prep time. All made ahead of time, the night before, thrown in the fridge, and freshly baked in the morning.

Really, you can make all of this the night before – when the kids are asleep or when Butters is already put himself to bed by the toilet.

Simply cover, place in the fridge, and just have your diced strawberries and powdered sugar ready for serving.

Once this has finished baking, sprinkle the strawberries, dust with confectioners’ sugar and boom. Brunch is served.

It’s also enough for 8 servings so you can definitely impress all your guests with your mad brunch skills. After all, there is that irresistible ooey-gooey cream cheese strawberry filling that no one can say no to.
