Cream Cheese, Maple & Apple Cider French Toast - cjs - 06-18-2008 I tested this last night for Sunday's brunch and what a tasty dish this is and just a little different. I'm going to thin out the syrup quite a bit both to make it go further but, it's just really too thick, imo. I covered with foil for the first ~15 min. of baking so the bread cubes sticking up would not get too brown. Cream Cheese & Maple French toast with Apple Cider Syrup Serves 8 1 lb. loaf unsliced French bread 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, cubed 8 eggs 2 1/2 cups milk, light cream or 1/2 & 1/2 (I'm using 1/2&1/2) 6 T. butter 1/4 cup maple syrup ------ Apple cider Syrup: 1/2 cup sugar 4 tsp. cornstarch 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 1 cup apple cider 1 T. lemon juice 2 T. butter Cut French bread into cubes (you should have about 12 cups). Spread the bread cubes in a baking pan and bake for 15 min. or until dry and hard at 325. Pull out of oven to cool. Grease a 9X13” baking dish Place half the bread cubes in b. dish. Top with the cream cheese and then with the remaining bread cubes. In a mixer bowl, mix together eggs, milk, melted butter and maple syrup till well combined. Pour egg mixture evenly over bread and cream cheese cubes. Using a spatula, slightly press layers down to moisten. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours. Remove plastic wrap and bake at 325 for 35 to 40 min. or till center appears set and edges are lightly golden. Let stand about 10 min. before serving. Serve w/apple cider syrup. Apple Cider Syrup: In a small saucepan, stir together the sugar, cornstarch & cinnamon. Stir in the apple cider and lemon juice. Cook and stir the mixture over medium heat till it is thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 min. more. Remove from heat and stir in butter till melted.
