GOOD Baked French Toast

I think my friend, Erin Fonnesbeck, gave me this recipe. I usually find that when I make baked french toast recipes they turn out a little soggy so I usually don't like them. This one I thought was really good. I changed it a little.

Armstrong Mansion Baked French Toast
½ loaf French bread (I used the whole loaf)
8 oz cream cheese
10 eggs ( I used only 8 eggs)
1 ½ cups half and half
¼ cup maple syrup
8 tsp butter

I also added 2 tsp vanilla and sprinkled in some cinnamon too.

Cube bread and layer half in a 9x13 pan. Cut cream cheese in slices and layer on top of bread. Cover with remaining bread.
In a bowl mix eggs, half and half, syrup and melted butter. Pour over bread press down so bread absorbs egg mixture. Refrigerate over night. Bake at 350 for 40-50 minutes.
