Step 1
In a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese, cinnamon, vanilla, and remaining brown sugar until smooth. Set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and 2 tablespoon brown sugar. Brush onto the bottom of a 9x13" baking dish.
Step 3
Add a single layer of the thickly sliced bread into the prepared baking dish.
What is the best bread to use for French Toast?
While classic bread is always welcomed, I learned from Alton Brown years ago that using Challah, Country Loaf, or Brioche Bread provide the best French toast results!
Why? These breads typically have a pillowy-soft interior and are already subtly sweet to compliment the nature of French toast.
Step 4
Using a spatula, add the cream cheese mixture and spread out evenly.
Step 5
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until smooth and well-combined. Set aside.
Step 6
Add another single layer of bread and gently press down.
Evenly pour the egg mixture over the layered bread.
Step 7
Cover with tin foil and let chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350F.
Bake covered for 30 minutes, and uncovered for 30-40 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Garnish with fresh strawberries and a drizzle of maple syrup.

The natural caffeine in BUBBL’R comes from guarana seed extract.

Niacin (B3) which helps improve cholesterol levels and boosts brain function.
Pantothenic Acid (B5) which plays a critical role in red blood cell creation and maintaining a healthy digestive tract.
Pyridoxine (B6) helps the body make several neurotransmitters and hormones, which improve brain function and mood.
Cobalamin (B12) assists in the regulation of the nervous system and also helps maintain energy levels.
How to store leftover French toast?
Within an hour of cooking, cover the French toast with foil or plastic wrap. If you have only a few servings left, you can store in an airtight container or plastic bag. Store in the fridge up to 3 days.
To freeze: Place a sheet of wax paper between each slice of French toast, then wrap tightly in aluminum foil or place in a freezer safe bag. Store up to 1 month.
How to reheat leftover French toast?
Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the French toast slices in a single layer on the baking sheet, leaving a little space in between.
Reheat for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping the toasts over halfway through. Serve and enjoy warm!
