Overnight French Toast

This is without a doubt our favorite breakfast around here. With gooey caramel bottoms and cream cheese filled centers this French toast is INCREDIBLE!

Overnight French Toast

14 slices of firm bread (I used homemade French bread)
4 oz. cream cheese
Cinnamon and Sugar
2/3 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. maple syrup
6 T. butter
4 eggs
1 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla

Spread half of the bread slices with cream cheese and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Top with another slice of bread, cut in half and set aside. In a 13”x9” pan combine brown sugar, butter and syrup. Cook in microwave until sugar is dissolved.
Place bread in pan on top of sugar mixture. Blend eggs, milk and vanilla and pour over bread. Cover and let sit in refrigerator for 45 minutes or overnight.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. Remove pieces from pan and flip caramel side up. Top with fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
