Fresh berries and cream cheese create the creamy middle in these French toast sandwiches. Because you prepare this breakfast bake the night before, it's perfect for overnight guests. Ingredients:

3/4 cup sliced fresh strawberries |
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 loaf french bread, cut into 1-inch slices |
