1 pound (16 ounces) loaf day old French bread sliced at a 1-in diagonal
In a blender, add the eggs, milk, heavy cream, strawberries, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Pulse just until the strawberries are blended and the mixture is a light pink color. Pour evenly over the bread, ensuring every piece is soaked.

Notes

Can I use frozen strawberries?

Yes! Just be sure to thaw and drain them well before blending to avoid excess liquid in the custard.

Storage:
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the oven to bring back some crispness.
- Freeze individual portions wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. When ready to eat, thaw overnight in the fridge and warm in the oven.
