Number Of Ingredients 9

12 c cubed french bread ((about 1 large loaf))
2 c raspberries (fresh or frozen)
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1/3 c sugar
10 eggs
1 2/3 c milk
1/2 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla
powdered sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Use cooking spray to grease the bottom and sides of a 9x13 pan; set aside.
  • Cut the bread into 1 1/2 inch cubes until you have about 12 cups. Add about 2/3 of the bread cubes into the bottom of the dish.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese and 1/3 c sugar and stir until smooth.
  • Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the first layer of bread cubes. No need to spread it out - keeping it in dollops will be perfect!
  • Sprinkle the berries on next followed by the remainder of the bread cubes. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Then whisk in the milk, 1/2 c sugar and vanilla.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Press the bread cubes down to help each cube soak up some of the liquid. Cover the casserole with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • In the morning (or when you're ready to bake it), preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Bake the casserole (uncovered) for 45-50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160 and the top is golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest a few minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve with maple syrup.
