French Toast Casserole

This is a delicious casserole, especially if you love french toast. I got this recipe from the keeping up cookbook. 

10 slices French bread, crusts removed

1 (8 ounce) pkg cream cheese, cut into small cubes(I use low fat cream cheese)

12 eggs

2 cups milk

1/2 cup maple syrup

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

Cut bread into cubes or stripes. Layer bread and cream cheese cubes in a greased 9 x 13 dish. Whisk together eggs, milk, syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Slowly pour egg mixture over bread and sprinkle with additional cinnamon. Refrigerate overnight. Bake uncovered at 375 for 45 minutes or until casserole is puffed and center is set. Slice and serve hot with maple or buttermilk syrup
