Baked Cream Cheese Toast

Image
Baked Cream Cheese Toast 12 pieces cubed white bread 12 eggs 1-2 pkg. cream cheese 2 C. milk ½ C. maple syrup  1 t cinnamon Mix eggs, milk, and syrup.  Layer ½ of bread cubes in a  19 X 13 pan.  Put cream cheese on and then layer again with the rest of bread.  Pour liquid over.   Cover tightly and refrigerate over night. Bake @ 350, 30 minutes covered and 30 minutes uncovered. Serve with fresh fruit (peaches, strawberries or blueberries) whipped cream and Buttermilk Syrup! *Laurie gave me this recipe and it included blueberries in the french toast and was served with a homemade blueberry syrup.  I loved it, but none of the kids did, so it has evolved to this.  I still get my fruit, it's just on top.  Compromises.  But this is such a delicious make ahead breakfast!  Usually comes out for General Conference.

Pour into strainer and rinse cold. Put in a large bowl and add green onions.  Cook pork about 5 minutes until no longer pink. Add to noodles.  Toss with dressing and sprinkle with sesame seeds.  Refrigerate 2-3 hours.  Serve cold or reheat.
