Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips:

Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
If you don't have a loaf of French bread, you can use thick slices of any other type of bread, such as sourdough or brioche.
To make the custard, use whole milk or half-and-half for a richer flavor.
Add a pinch of salt to the custard to balance out the sweetness of the strawberries.
If you want a crispy French toast, cook it in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it is golden brown on both sides.
If you prefer a softer French toast, cook it in a covered skillet over low heat until it is heated through.
Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh berries.

Overnight Strawberry French Toast is a quick and simple breakfast or brunch recipe that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and memorable meal that everyone will love. Enjoy!
