Add cubes to hot pan and cook (adjust heat if necessary), turning as needed, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Keep warm. Repeat to soak and cook remaining cubes. Discard any remaining egg mixture. Pair along with sliced strawberries if desired.

Stir in pecans (2 cups) and butterscotch morsels. Pour batter equally into the two loaf pans. Sprinkle tops with remaining 2/3 cup of pecans. Bake 60-70 minutes. Cool 15 minutes. Remove from pans.
