Instructions
- French Toast: Coat a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Tear or cut bread into small pieces; arrange evenly in the baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Stir in sugar, vanilla and cinnamon until well combined. Pour evenly over bread.
- Combine strawberries and rhubarb together in a medium bowl. Pour over the bread. Use a spoon to poke fruit down into the bread. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Streusel Topping: Mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt together in a small bowl. Add butter; use a fork to work in the butter until the mixture resembles sand with a few pea sized pieces.
- Remove French toast from the refrigerator and sprinkle the crumb mixture over the top. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the French toast is set and golden brown. Remove from the oven to a cooling rack. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting into pieces.
