- 1 large or 1 1/2 loaves of cinnamon raisin bread (chopped enough to fill a 9'x13" baking pan)
- 12 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 6 oz. butter, softened
- 3/4 cup maple syrup, divided
- 10 eggs
- 3 cups half & half
- cinnamon sugar
- more maple syrup
Place chopped bread into well-buttered 9"x13" glass baking dish. With a mixer, whisk cream cheese, butter and 1/4 cup maple syrup until smooth. Spread on top of bread, leaving some openings to pour egg through mixture. Beat eggs, half & half and 1/2 cup maple syrup. Pour over bread. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Cover and leave overnight in the refrigerator. Uncover and bake 60 minutes (covered with foil for last 10 minutes to keep from burning) at 350 degrees. Cut into squares and sprinkle with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup. Serves 8-10.
