-Layer
half of the French bread in a 9x13 pan, evenly layer cubes/pinches of cream
cheese, and then layer the second half of the bread. For a variation, sprinkle fruit (berries, peaches, etc.) into the middle layer before adding the second layer of bread. Set aside. Mix remaining
ingredients (except cinnamon) and pour over bread mixture in pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
-Cover
with foil and set in refrigerator overnight, if possible. It can be cooked
right away but the mixture soaks in better overnight. Bake at 350 degrees-30
minutes with foil on, 15 minutes with foil off. (cook time may vary if you added frozen berries)
