I followed the recipe exactly but my French toast bake turned out dry. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar.

I'm not a big fan of strawberries, but I really enjoyed this dish. The sweetness of the strawberries was perfectly balanced by the tartness of the cream cheese.
