  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 15 oz. ricotta cheese
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. almond extract
  • ½ tsp. salt

Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, ricotta cheese, vanilla extract, almond extract, salt, and brown sugar.
  2. Spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and fill with sliced bread as pictured. Take about ¾ of the strawberries and push in between the slices of bread.
  3. Pour the egg mixture over the bread evenly, pushing down the slices of bread to ensure they soak in more liquid.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  5. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Top with remaining sliced strawberries and a dusting of powdered sugar.
