If you like french toast and bread pudding, then this will hit the spot. I had this in New Orleans and it was amazing!Great way to use day old bread. It is great warm or room temperature. I like mine with maple syrup, but it is great without it also. Great for brunch or family breakfast. #Cajun

Steps

30-45 min

1

Cut bread into 1 inch cubes. You can use any bread. French and brioche are wonderful.
2

Place bread cubes in large mixing bowl.
3

Mix the whole milk, eggs, heavy cream, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.
4

Mix well and pour over bread. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate overnight so bread can soak up custard.
5

The next day, spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick spray and heat oven to 350 degrees.
6

Pour the bread mixture into pan and spread evenly.
7

In separate bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar and milk to make a thick but not to thick paste.
8

Dollop cream cheese over bread mixture and slightly push into mixture.
9

Put the praline crumble evenly over top and bake until set in middle. Check after 30 minutes.
10

Serve warm with syrup or ice cream or just like it is.
