Description:
A melt-in-the-mouth French toast with the sweetness of raspberries and creaminess of cream cheese. This casserole can be made in advance and frozen.

Ingredients:
16 oz. loaf unsliced Italian bread (cubed with crusts on)
8 oz. package cream cheese (cubed)
8 eggs
2 1/2 cups milk, light cream or half & half
6 TBSP melted butter
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 cups raspberries (or other fruit)
