INGREDIENTS

1 Loaf firm bread*
1 Packag, 8 oz cream cheese
10 Eggs
1/2 c Real maple syrup
1 1/2 c Half-and-half
1/2 c Any flavor seedless jam**
1 t Vanilla extract
Butter or margarine

INSTRUCTIONS

The night before: Grease a 9xl2 " glass baking pan with butter or
margarine.  (We use Earth Grains French) (*We use peach or apricot jam,
or lemon  or orange curd imported from England-do NOT use preserves or
jelly!)  Remove crusts from bread and cube it. Place in a
closely-fitting  single layer in the baking pan.  Pinch off
marble-sized lumps of cream cheese with your fingers, evenly
distributing them over the bread layer. Melt the jam in the  microwave,
or in a double boiler, until it is warm and fairly liquid.  Do not boil
it. Drizzle it over the cream cheese and bread. If you  like, you may
add a layer of diced Canadian bacon at this point.  Place a second
layer of bread, cubed and closely fitted in the same  way, over the
cream cheese and jam.  Beat the eggs until lemon-yellow and slightly
frothy. Add the  half-and-half, maple syrup and vanilla and stir until
well blended.  Pour this mixture over the bread layers. "Squish" it
into the bread  with your hands. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and
refrigerate  overnight. (This wonderful dish can be refrigerated as
much as three  days before baking!)  In the morning: Pre-heat oven to
375 F.  Remove plastic wrap and bake French toast for 50-60 minutes
until  nicely browned on top. Slice in the kitchen and serve warm with
more  maple syrup, powdered sugar, butter and/or fmely-chopped pecans.
NOTE: This recipe can be made 'guilt-free" by substituting skim milk,
margarine, and low- or no-fat cream cheese.  Suggested accompaniments:
We usually serve this wonderful dish with  fresh fruit in season and
savory turkey sausage patties.  This recipe originally called for 1 -2
loaves of bread.  Recipe by: W.J. Marsh House Victorian Bed &
