Baked Cream Cheese French Toast

Baked Cream Cheese French Toast is the perfect beginning to any day. Love me some Cream cheese!

I love that this week, I have finally had some time to make good breakfasts. We went to Costco yesterday, obviously, because I hadn’t shopped in weeks trying to leave space for rolls and party foods.

We needed to stock up and I went crazy if you ask Matt, hence the reason you should never shop hungry. They had the best looking French bread loaves, I had to do it! This is turned out super good!

Baked Cream Cheese French Toast

Ingredients

1 loaf french bread
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
8 large eggs
2 1/4 cups 2% milk
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 teaspoons cinnamon

Topping

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 stick of salted butter cold and cubed

Baked Cream Cheese French Toast

Directions

Grease a 9×13 inch pan with nonstick spray. Slice then cut the bread into cubes, about 1 inch in size. Spread half of the cubes into the prepared baking pan. (Way better if you let the French bread get a little stale. Cut it up and let it dry out as long as you have time.)
Using a whisk to beat the room temperature cream cheese until completely smooth. Beat in the confectioners’ sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until combined. Drop random spoonfuls of cream cheese mixture on top of the bread. Layer the remaining bread cubes on top of cream cheese. Set aside.
Whisk the eggs, milk, cinnamon, brown sugar, and remaining vanilla together until no brown sugar lumps remain. Pour evenly over the bread. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours and up to 24 hours. Overnight is best.
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Remove pan from the refrigerator.
While the oven is preheating, whisk the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl. Cut in the cold cubed butter with a pastry cutter or two forks. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the soaked bread.
Bake uncovered for 45-55 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Drizzle with optional maple syrup or dust with confectioners’ sugar. Serve warm.
