Instructions
- Bread prep: Slice the loaf of french bread into 1-inch-thick pieces and then spread the softened cream cheese on one side of half of the bread slices. Place them together with a bare bread slice like a sandwich. Transfer them all into a greased 9x13 baking dish.
- Egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, sugar, salt, and cinnamon until well combined. Pour the egg mixture over the top of the bread and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes before turning the sandwiches over. The bottom slices hould now be on top, making it so that the bottom and tops are coated in the egg mixture.
- Chill & set: Cover the baking dish with foil and place it in the fridge overnight.
- Bake: In the morning, get the oven preheating to 400 degrees F. Pull the french toast out of the refrigerator and place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Amaretto Cream Topping: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, sugar, and extract using an electric mixer, until stiff peaks form. This typically takes 5-7 minutes, believe me, patience is worth the results!
- Serve the warm french toast with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and some strawberries. Enjoy!
