French Toast Bake
Ingredients
| 1 | *Wind & Willow Cheeseball & Dessert Mix |
| 12 slices | French bread, cut into cubes, divided |
| 2 (8oz.) pkgs | cream cheese |
| 1 1/2 cups | sliced strawberries or blueberries |
| 2 cups | half & half |
| 12 | large eggs |
| 1/2 cup | maple syrup |
Directions
Combine Cheeseball Mix with cream cheese and mix until smooth. Set aside. Grease 9 x 13" baking dish. Layer 1/2 of bread cubes, spoon on 1/2 cream cheese mixture, berries, remaining bread and the rest of the cream cheese mixture. Beat together (or put in blender) half & half, eggs and maple syrup until smooth. Pour evenly over ingredients in the dish. Cover with foil and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight. Set out for 45 minutes prior to baking. Preheat oven to 350 and bake for 30 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and continue baking until French toast is puffed and golden brown, about 30 more minutes.
Garnish with maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries, and contents of topping packet. Serve!
Tip: Any Sweet Cheeseball Mix will work, but we love the Strawberry Shortcake or the Lemon Blueberry for this recipe.
