Stuffed French Toast

This is my first attempt at this recipe (given to me by my s-i-l), though I've been eyeing it for a long time. It takes some planning ahead, which I'm not often good at. But the planning & the work was well worth the warm delicious-ness...

Stuffed French Toast

2 small loaves of French bread
cream cheese
1/2 c. butter (one stick)
1/2 c. sugar
1 tbsp. cinnamon
4 eggs
2 c. milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice French bread into thin slices (about 1/2" wide). Spread cream cheese between slices to make "sandwiches"(about 10). Melt butter & pour into a 9x13" pan. Sprinkle sugar & cinnamon over the top. Place sandwiches over that. Beat eggs & milk; pour over top. Bake for 25 min. To serve, flip over onto plate so that cinnamon sugar side is facing up. Serve with syrup or fruit.
