This was just okay. I'd rather just make Raisin French toast. Kinda dry.

I followed this recipe exactly. It was pretty good but it just seemed to be missing something - I can't put my finger on it... ah well. Thanx for the recipe!

I was really excited to try this after reading the reviews. It just had very little flavor and the texture was not right. My husband and I tried some but my 2 sons wouldn't even have a taste. I will not be making this again.

I made this for my husband for Father's Day breakfast. He and my three kids went crazy over it! I followed the directions exactly other than using fat free half and half. It was wonderful!

Loved this breakfast! I actually used about 3/4 of a loaf of Berlin Bakery (R) Righeous Raisin bread because it's spelt bread and I'm allergic to wheat. It was still absolutely amazing! Another small change I did was instead of cubing the cream cheese, I sort of sliced it in order to make it layer the whole dish. Last change was that I used whipping cream instead of half and half. I would recommend this recipe highly to anyone. It's delicious!

this was really good. i made a few changes: used a bunch of stale homemade bread cubes, some super dry; used half the cream cheese in cubes, 6 eggs, baked in a smaller glass baking dish, about 1 1/2 cups milk and whipping cream mixed, 2 tbsp. butter, forgot the maple syrup completely. amazingly, it turned out really good and the whole family loved it. some recipes are just immune to tinkering, this must be one.

Just ok. Nothing special.

I was very dissapointed. I had high hopes for this Strata. I love the idea that you can prepare this beforehand. But the taste was bland (even though I added cinnamon to coat the apples). The texture was very mushy. THe raisins ended up tasting odd and the cream cheese didn't do anything. Too bad...it really sounded good.

I made this for a baby shower brunch, and while I didn't try it, everyone raved about it (mommy-to-be, especially). I used french bread instead of raisin bread, so I added cinnamon and about 1/4 cup sugar and left out raisins. I used 7 medium sized eggs (didn't taste eggy at all, I was told). I microwaved the cream cheese for 15 seconds, added a drip of vanilla extract and 1/4 cup powdered sugar then spread it over the first layer of bread. I left it in the oven about 1 hour (I set the timer for 45, tuned the timer off when it went off, but forgot to take it out of the oven!) It was nicely cooked, however, very moist and slightly puffy. I drizzled a little syrup over the top after I took it out of the oven. No leftovers and have already forwarded the recipe to several guests.

YUM, was great. I spread cream cheese on bread, then cut into cubes. Used 6 eggs, 2 apples, extra raisins and about 1.5 cup half and half, also added cinnamon and vanilla extract to the egg mixture. Took it to work and it was devoured!

This recipe was a big Easter Brunch hit!

i added more raisins and apples to it. i also spread the cream cheese on the bread first. it had a very good taste. all my boys loved it. i did wish i had cooked it a little longer though, as it was a little mushy. stayed good for a few days as leftovers and good in the microwave.

This recipe is delicious adn easy! I used fat free half-and-half and it still came out great. It kind of reminds me of bread pudding (a good thing), try with some cool whip on top!

Excellent dish! We really enjoyed this as I tend to stick to eggs and hot cereals for breakfast. It has inspired me to try more breakfast casserole type recipes. I made a few changes; used only 5 eggs, 2 apples, whole milk, a few sprinkles of cinnamon and 1 tsp vanilla to the egg mixture. I also spread the cream cheese to whole slices of pepperidge farms cinnamon bread minus the crust- didnt' cube them. I have tried different breads and found this to be my family's favorite. My 3 year old loves this "breakfast toast". I look forward to making it for my MIL and her brother when they visit next month. Easy to prepare the night before and cook while in the shower.

This was wonderful - I made it ahead for New Year's morning. Even our "picky" guest who doesn't eat eggs loved this!

This was wonderful. I wanted to use up my sweet potatoe biscuits I had in frezer so I used them instead of bread. I followed other reviewers and spread cream cheese on biscuits before cutting, used two apples and some raisins. I sprinkled some cinnamon straight on apples and that was enough of spices for me since my biscuits had already cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger in them. I did not have half and half so I used 1 cup of heavy cream (all I had) and rest just 2% milk. It worked out so delicious and looked fabulous with powdered sugar sprinkled on top. I cant wait to try it with blueberries or strawberries when thet are in season.

Very good! You may wish to try it as is first, but I make it with a few modifications. In order to cut back on the fat and up the maple flavor (I also didn't want it to be too soggy) I use only 6oz of low-fat cream cheese, 2 large granny smith
