Ingredients

• 12 oz French baguette, cut into 1-inch cubes, about 5 cups
• 8 oz package cream cheese, cut into 20 cubes
• 1 21 oz can cherry pie filling
• 6 large eggs
• ½ cup milk
• ½ cup half and half
• ¼ cup maple syrup (the real stuff!)
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Directions

• Spray an 8-inch or 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
• Place half of the bread on the bottom of the dish.
• Place the cream cheese cubes on top of the bread.
• Spoon half of the cherry pie filling on top of the cream cheese.
• Top with the remaining half of the bread cubes.
• Whisk together remaining ingredients (eggs, milk, half and half, syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla).
• Pour over the top of the bread layer.
• Spoon the remaining pie filling over the top and cover with foil.
• Preheat oven to 350F. Let french toast sit while the oven is preheating, allowing the bread to absorb some of the egg mixture.
• Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes covered. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
• Let cool slightly before serving with additional maple syrup if desired.
