This was pretty good.I cut the eggs down to 7 and only used 1 1/2 cups cream (instead of the milk) added in 1 tsp cinnamon,1/2 tsp apple pie spice.The middle still was a bit soggy but it's getting better the more i play with this recipe.I will add in more spices next time and maybe scale back to 1 cup milk/cream to see if i can get the soggyness not to be in this dish.

This is amazing!!! I followed other tips about 9-10 eggs, adding vanilla, and sprinkling cinnamon on the bread. Make sure you get fresh french bread it makes a huge difference. I served with a variety of syrups and everyone cheated on their diets for this one! Thank you so much for such a great recipe!

I followed the advice of others and cut back the eggs to 9 and the cream cheese to about 5 oz. Also cut cream cheese into really small pieces or its too overpowering.

I made this for a brunch and was amazed at how quickly it disappeared. I used 8 eggs and added more milk. Following some advice in another recipe, I spread the cream cheese on the bread before cubing it. I made 1 1/2 times the syrup and we had a small amount leftover. I used half brown sugar and half white sugar in the sauce for extra flavor. Frozen blueberries work well. An added plus is that this warms up well in the microwave.

The receipe is pretty easy to make but I used French bread because couldn't find Italian. Anyway, it turned out delicious! My son and husband really enjoyed this one and we even got to have left overs the next day too!

Absolutely delicious!!! I prepared this and cooked it right away by dipping the cinnamon bread in the egg mixture. It was incredible!!! Make it and share it - you'll be a star!

This rating is for the syrup only. It was delicious. I followed the recipe exactly and the sweetness was just right. It was so simple to make and I can't wait to experiment with strawberries and raspberries. My only problem was that I must have had the heat a too high because it thickened very quickly and I had to add some additional water to thin it out.

A different take on french toast; it was delicious! Great for a large group. I actually prefer it without the sauce, but each person differs.

I run a commercial kitchen (that tries to cook from scratch) and came across this recipe at the beginning of blueberry season this year. Our guests and staff have been ecstatic over this. We've added it to our weekend brunch and we continue to get rave reviews each and every time we serve it. The ease of preparing this the day ahead for a busy morning makes this a WIN WIN recipe. Hats off to the creator of this recipe it is AWESOME!!! Oops, I forgot to mention we like to use cinnamon swirl bread for the cubed bread.

This was a big hit. I would make again but next time, I think I would omit the cream cheese. I don't think it is necessary. It is alreay pretty rich. The sauce would be great on ice cream or pancakes.

Amazing! You only need about 10 eggs and it'll be perfect! and be sure to sprinkle some cinnamon on top! or Pampered Chef's Toffee topping.

Yummy! I also made some minor modifications based upon other reviews: spread the cream cheese on the bread prior to cutting into cubes, added 1 tsp vanilla to the mixture, and sprinkled cinnamon before and after the bread layers. Instead of pouring the mixture over the bread, I put the bread directly into the mixture to make sure all the pieces were saturated. I didn't make it the night before, and it still came out great. Everybody loved it!!!

This recipe was okay...I was expecting a bit more flavor. I did add more maple syrup and then more again after it was cooked. I added the vanilla and cinnamon to the egg mixture as others had recommended. It was pretty good for something to throw in the oven if you have breakfast company but would try something with a bit more flavor next time.

Delicious! Not for those counting calories, but wonderful for an occasional weekend indulgence. I love that I can make this the night before and just pop it into the oven in the morning while everyone is getting ready for the day. The used half orange juice/half water for the sauce and add some cinnamon because I like that flavour combination.

This was pretty tasty, although the first time it came out more like a bread pudding...too moist for my taste. Second time, I softened the cream cheese, and spread it on the bottom layers of bread (whole slices), then topped with blueberries and cubed bread and additional cinnamon. I baked it an additional 15 minutes. The blueberry sauce was nummy, the second time I used Equal instead of sugar, blended it, and added 1/2 cup of corn syrup and 1 tsp lemon juice to make more of a blueberry syrup. My husband thought of it more as a dessert. (He prefers savory breakfasts)
