A scrumptuous baked version of french toast with a built-in cream cheese sauce.

Ingredients:
4 or 5 medium croissants (baked)
6 ounces cream cheese softened
1/2 cup butter softened
3/4 cup maple syrup divided
10 eggs
3 cups half-and-half

Sauce: 1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup maple syrup

Directions:
In a food processor, coarsely chop croissants; distribute evenly in 8 greased one-cup souffle dishes or 9x12" Pyrex dish. In food processor, combine cream cheese, butter and 1/2 cup maple syrup; dollop heaping tablespoon in the middle of the croissant crumbs. In a large bowl, beat eggs, 1/2 cup maple syrup, and half-and-half; pour over mixture. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove from refrigerator (did we really need this step?). Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Uncover and bake 45 to 50 minutes or until golden.
