2 pints fresh strawberries, sliced

4 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup orange liqueur
3 tablespoons sugar
6 thick slices bread, preferably Challah or similar style egg bread

In a large bowl, combine strawberries, sugar, and liqueur. Let stand 1 hour, stirring occasionally. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, liqueur, and sugar. Coat each slice of bread on both sides with egg mixture.
