Directions

Preheat oven to 350 °F.

1. Brush softened butter on both sides of each slice. Then tear slices in to 4 or 5 pieces and loosely arrange in a non-greased 9×5 baking sheet.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and 1 cup granulated sugar together until frothy, about 2 minutes. Add milk, salt and vanilla and stir until combined. Pour mixture over bread.

3. In another mixing bowl and with a fork, cream together remaining sugar and softened cream cheese until blended. Spoon mixture in dollops atop the wet bread mixture to make a mostly even layer. Use a spatula to smooth over the top.
