We live near Madison and most of my family live in Minneapolis or Chicago. Over the years, we have been the unofficial stage coach stop for family and friends traveling through the area. I love making a nice breakfast or brunch for our visitors and this dish is always appreciated. The recipe is made ahead which gives you more time to visit. Enjoy!
OVERNIGHT RAISIN FRENCH TOAST
1 pound loaf of cinnamon raisin bread, cut into cubes
8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
8 eggs
1 1/2 cups half & half
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
Place half the bread cubes in 9 x 13 greased pan. Top with cream cheese and then the remaining bread. In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Pour over the top. Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight.
Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Cover and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Uncover and bake for an additional 15 - 20 minutes or until a knife in the center comes out clean.
ENJOY!
