Ingredients
  

  • 2 –3 French baguette loaves 8–10 inches, sliced but not completely through for layering
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened for easy spreading
  • 1 cup powdered sugar for sweetness
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure, for flavor
  • 1 cup strawberries thinly sliced, fresh
  • 1 cup blueberries fresh
  • 1 cup raspberries fresh
  • 6 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 cup whole milk or 2% milk
  • ½ cup heavy cream for richness
  • 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon divided
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar divided

Method
 

  1. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Slice the baguettes about 1 inch thick, cutting partially through without separating the slices. Arrange in the pan.
  3. In a bowl, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold in the berries.
  4. Spread the cream cheese and berry mixture evenly between the slices of bread.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, heavy cream, ½ cup brown sugar, and 3 teaspoons cinnamon until fully combined.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the stuffed bread, making sure it seeps between the slices.
  7. Allow the bread to soak for 30–60 minutes at room temperature.
  8. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup brown sugar over the top and cover the pan with foil.
  9. Bake for 15 minutes covered, then remove foil and continue baking for 30 minutes, until custard is set and lightly golden.
  10. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
