“This recipe came from a colleague years ago and has become a potluck, brunch and family favorite! My staff used to ask for it every holiday. I love the convenience of great make-ahead recipes and this is one I turn to all the time. I like to sprinkle it with cinnamon and sugar when removing it from the oven." Stephanie Weaver - Sligo, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf (1 pound) cinnamon-raisin bread, cubed
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cubed
  • 8 large eggs, lightly beaten

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

  1. Place half of the bread cubes in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Top with cream cheese and remaining bread.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk remaining ingredients. Pour over top. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
