I brought this to a Munro brunch yesterday. It is pretty yummy! It's not very sweet by itself, so don't forget to add syrup and/or fresh berries to the top of your scoop! Ingredients:
1 loaf (1lb) decent french bread
1 tbsp. cinnamon
1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese
8 eggs
2 1/2 cups milk
6 tbsp. butter, melted
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Grease a 13 x 9 inch baking dish. Cut the loaf of bread into 1 inch cubes and put half into the dish. Sprinkle with the cinnamon. Cut up the cream cheese into small cubes and sprinkle over bread/cinnamon mixture. Add remaining bread cubes.
In a large bowl, combine eggs, milk and melted butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Mix with a wisk until smooth. Pour over bread mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Give it a good mix to make sure all the bread has soaked up some of the egg/milk mixture. Bake, uncovered at 350 for 35-40 minutes.
Enjoy!
