Overnight French Toast

Overnight French Toast

12 slices bread -- crusts removed

16 ounces cream cheese (low-fat works well too)

1 cup berries

12 eggs

2 cups milk

1/3 cup maple syrup or honey

Fruit Topping:

1 cup sugar

2 tablespoons corn starch

1 cup water

1 cup berries

1 tablespoon butter

Cut bread into 1 inch cubes, place half in a 13x9x2 inch pan. Cut cheese into cubes, spread over bread. Top with fruit, and then remaining bread.
In a large bowl, beat eggs, milk, and syrup together. Pour over bread.
Cover and chill 8 hours, or overnight. Remove from fridge 30 minutes before baking.
Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 25-30 minutes more.

Meanwhile, combine sauce ingredients and bring to a gentle boil in a saucepan. Cook until nicely thickened. Serve over french toast.
