Directions
Simple French Toast Strata, This is a simple French Toast that everyone loves for Brunch on New Years’ Day use whatever bread I have on hand, but I really like crusty Italian bread, cubed , Hi! Ive been making this for Easter the past 10 years and everyone begs for it! Ive made a few tweaks to it and its the first dish family goes to! First off use cinnamon swirl instead of plain bread and I cut it into fairly small cubes (makes it easier for them to soak up the liquid and not be dry) I also dont cube the cream cheese Cream cheese isnt a super melty cheese This takes a bit more time but I pinch off lil pieces of cream cheese and place them ALL over the bread You end up getting a lil piece of cream cheese in every bite! ?? I also add almost twice the amount of maple syrup into the blender After pouring the mixture over the top, I take a fork all over the dish and make sure every lil piece of bread is getting liquid BONUS: the longer you can let it sit in your fridge, the better it can soak and not be dry after cooking I make mine the day before and let it sit about 12 hours After 10+ years of perfecting this recipe it NEVER comes out dry or less than scrumptious!! Promise!, Wow!! This was fantastic!! My bread was moist (unlike a few others who commented theirs was dry) used some homemade honey cinnamon bread that someone gave me and it was perfect The cream cheese did stay in shape, but I think if people want it to melt or dissolve, use a whipped cream cheese instead, maybe At any rate, we loved it and I’ll be making it again
