For a richer flavor, use brioche or challah bread. Feel free to experiment with other berries like blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries. If you don't have half-and-half, you can use a combination of milk and cream. The streusel topping can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use.
