âThis recipe came from a colleague years ago and has become a potluck, brunch and family favorite! My staff used to ask for it every holiday. I love the convenience of great make-ahead recipes and this is one I turn to all the time. I like to sprinkle it with cinnamon and sugar when removing it from the oven. Stephanie Weaver - Sligo, Pennsylvania Ingredients:
1 loaf (1 pound) cinnamon-raisin bread, cubed |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cubed |
8 eggs, lightly beaten |
1-1/2 cups half-and-half cream |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup maple syrup |
2 tablespoons vanilla extract |
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
Directions:
1. Place half of the bread cubes in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Top with cream cheese and remaining bread.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients. Pour over top. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
3. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 15-20 minutes longer or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Yield: 12 servings.
