Letting the custard soak into the bread makes for a more tender, moist French toast.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Prepare the fruit mix<\/h3>\n<p>About 30 minutes before baking, remove the pan from the refrigerator and let sit on the counter. Heat the oven to 400\u00b0F. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the strawberries, bananas, sugar and pie spice.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Assemble the casserole<\/h3>\n<p>Pour the fruit into a greased 13&#215;9-inch baking dish. Arrange the prepared bread over the fruit.
