Ingredients

cooking spray
1 loaf French bread, cut into 3/4-inch slices
1 (8 ounce) container cream cheese spread with pineapple
4 eggs
1 cup milk
¼ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

Spray a 9x13-inch casserole with cooking spray.
Spread a dollop of cream cheese onto a slice of bread, then cover with another slice to make a little sandwich. Repeat with remaining bread and cream cheese. Place sandwiches in a single layer in the prepared casserole.
Whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl; pour over sandwiches in the casserole, making sure bread is completely saturated with egg mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Remove plastic wrap and place casserole in the preheated oven. Bake until top is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
