Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
4 1 1/2-inch-thick slices French bread or challah bread
1/2 of an 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
4 eggs
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons honey or sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Maple syrup or Salted Caramel Sauce
Directions:
Directions:
1. Cut a 3-inch pocket about 2 inches deep in the top-crust side of each bread slice, cutting to but not all the way through to the other side. For the filling, in a medium bowl beat cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add 2 tablespoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Beat until smooth. Divide cream cheese mixture evenly among bread slices, spooning it into the pocket of each bread slice. Place bread slices in a 2-quart rectangular baking dish; set aside.

2. In a medium bowl whisk together eggs, milk, honey or sugar, and the 1 teaspoon vanilla. Slowly pour the egg mixture over bread slices. Using the back of a wide spatula, press bread down lightly to soak with egg mixture. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours, turning bread slices over once or twice during the chilling time.

3. Heat a lightly greased griddle over medium heat. Cook bread slices on hot griddle for 4 to 6 minutes or until golden brown, turning once halfway through cooking time. Serve with syrup or Salted Caramel Sauce.

Family favorite for Christmas breakfast. Prepare at night, place in the fridge and bake in the morning. Use flavored cream cheese for a extra treat. We loved strawberry cream cheese stuffing. Sprinkle frozen berries on top before baking and no need for syrup.
