Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter, melted
7 (1 ounce) slices day-old bread, torn into small pieces
3/4 cup chopped fresh strawberries

1 1/4 cups milk
3/4 cup light cream
1/4 cup strawberry preserves
3/4 cup white sugar, or to taste
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking dish with melted butter.
2 Toss bread with chopped strawberries; place into the prepared pan. Beat eggs, milk, cream, strawberry preserves, sugar, and vanilla in a medium bowl until frothy. Pour over bread and lightly press down with a spatula until bread has absorbed milk mixture.
