Ingredients:
12 to 16 slices raisin or cinnamon bread, depending on size
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
Cinnamon-sugar mixture
8 eggs
1/2 cup milk or heavy cream
1/2 cup maple syrup
Confectioners' sugar
Instructions:
Grease or spray a 13x9 inch casserole dish (glass works best). Arrange a layer of bread slices on the bottom of the dish, covering completely. Spread each slice with a generous layer of cream cheese, then sprinkle liberally with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Top with the same arrangement of remaining bread slices.
In a large bowl, mix the eggs, milk or cream, and syrup, then pour over the bread. If it floats, push the bread down to immerse it in liquid. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Bake uncovered in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes or until golden and puffy. To serve, cut through bread slices diagonally, creating triangles. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and serve while puffed.
