Stuffed French Toast Strata with Apple Cider Syrup

This recipe originally came from internet, from B&B in Georgia. We have
changed it around a little from the original.

1 1 lb loaf unsliced French Bread
1 8-ounce pkg. Cream cheese, cubed
2 1/2 cups milk, light cream
8 eggs
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup maple syrup


Apple Cider Syrup
1/2 cup sugar 4 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 cup apple cider or apple juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice 2 tablespoons butter

Slice French bread, about 1/2" thick, make sandwiches with the cream
cheese (use as much or as little as you like) and place in a greased
9x13x2 pan. Blend eggs, milk, butter and maple syrup until well combined.
Pour mixture evenly over bread and cheese sandwiches.

Use a spatula to slightly press layers down to moisten. Cover with plastic
wrap and refrigerate overnight. Bake at 325 degrees for 60-90 minutes or
until center is set and edges is golden brown. Put in cold oven straight
from refrigerator let stand 10 minutes before serving. In a small
saucepan, stir together sugar cornstarch and cinnamon. Then stir in apple
cider or juice and lemon juice. Cook and stir mixture over medium heat
until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Then cook and stir for 2 minutes
more. Remove from heat.

Butter tastes best
The apple cider tastes better than apple juice.
