Instructions

Butter a large casserole (3 or 4 quart will work) dish very well.
Place the bread cubes in the baking dish.
In a medium bowl or large liquid measuring cup, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt. Pour the mixture over the bread.
Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight.
Prepare cream cheese glaze: (this can be done the night before or in the morning while the casserole bakes) Beat together the cream cheese and butter (must be at room temperature) until they are a smooth, creamy mixture. Sift the powered sugar into a bowl and then mix it into the cream cheese mixture. Add the vanilla and a pinch of salt. If the glaze is too thick for your liking, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until it is your desired consistency. This may stay at room temperature for up to 8 hours.
When ready to bake, take the casserole out of the fridge to sit at room temperature while the oven preheats. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Keeping the foil on the casserole dish, bake covered for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake another 30 minutes, or until the French toast is set.
Allow it to cool for a few minutes and then drizzle with the cream cheese glaze and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

Note: If your bread isn’t stale, leave it uncovered on the counter for 4 or more hours before making this. I usually just take it out of the package and place it on a tray on the counter the night before I’m going to prep this.
