A delightful twist on the classic French toast casserole, perfect for brunch or special occasions.
Cut the bread into cubes.
Using day-old bread helps absorb the egg mixture better.
Layer half of the bread cubes in the bottom of a greased 9x13 baking dish.
Ensure the bread is spread evenly for consistent baking.
Dot the bread layer with pieces of softened cream cheese.
Cut the cream cheese into small cubes for easier distribution.
Top with the remaining bread cubes.
Gently press down the bread to compact the layers slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar until smooth.
Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved for a smooth mixture.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and cream cheese.
Pour slowly to allow the mixture to soak into the bread.
Cover the dish and refrigerate overnight.
Refrigerating allows the flavors to meld and the bread to fully absorb the mixture.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 45 minutes or until set.
Check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Serve warm with maple syrup or your preferred topping.
Add fresh fruit or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra flair.
