Creamy Strawberry French Toast Bake

Ingredients for 8 servings

½ cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup half-and-half cream
1 loaf (1 pound) cinnamon bread, cut into 1-in. pieces
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons sugar
3 cups sliced fresh strawberries, divided
5 large eggs
sweetened whipped cream

Directions

Toss 2 cups strawberries with sugar. In another bowl, beat the next five ingredients until smooth. Place half the bread in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Spoon cream cheese mixture over bread. Layer with strawberry mixture and remaining bread. Whisk eggs and cream until blended; pour over top. Refrigerate, covered, overnight.

Preheat oven to 350°. Remove casserole from refrigerator while oven heats. Bake, uncovered, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40-45 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Top with whipped cream and remaining strawberries.
