Raspberry Cheesecake French Toast Casserole

• portions: 10 servings
• temps actif: 15 minutes
• temps total: 1 day 1 hour

Ingrédients

12 cup cubed french bread (about 1 large loaf)

2 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)

8 ounces cream cheese (softened)

1/3 cup sugar

10 eggs

1 2/3 cups milk

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

powdered sugar (optional)

Instructions

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.
