Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread, sliced into 1-inch thick pieces
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 21 ounces Cherry pie filling
- 6 Large eggs
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Butter, for greasing
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Arrange half of the sliced French bread in a single layer on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Spread the softened cream cheese evenly over the bread layer. Top with the cherry pie filling, spreading it to cover the cream cheese.
Place the remaining bread slices on top to form a sandwich-like layer.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread layers, ensuring all pieces are soaked. Lightly press down the top layer of bread to help it absorb the liquid.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
Dust the baked French toast with powdered sugar just before serving. Slice into portions and enjoy warm.
