Fabulous dessert although I did not make the sauce !! I did double the recipe, using real eggs and that worked out really well. I mixed my organic red currant jam into the cream cheese as a time saving method and then layered it between the bread. I left it soaking while I went to walk the dogs then came back and put it in the oven. We all loved this and could hardly stop eating it. Made for ZWT8.

I made this for Christmas morning breakfast for hubby and I. I halved the recipe and used strawberry cream cheese with sf strawberry jam and splenda as the sweetener. I also added a teaspoon of almond extract to the liquid mixture, and used egg beaters. I made the topping with strawberries..Could not believe how simple and very tasty this breakfast dish is..Thank You for sharing JanuaryBride, will be made often here!
