Easter Breakfast Bake

Step 1

Leave your bread out for a few hours or place it on a tray at 350˚F for about 8 minutes to slightly dry it out.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese mixture ingredients until fluffy.

Step 3

Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer half of the bread cubes in the pan. Sprinkle with half of the carrots, pineapple and raisins. Dot with the cream cheese mixture. Top with remaining bread and the other half of the carrots, pineapple, and raisins.

Step 4

In a bowl, stir together the eggs, milk, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Pour over the casserole, cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.

Step 5

Remove the casserole from the fridge about 45-60 minutes before baking. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Step 6

Mix topping ingredients together in a small bowl. Sprinkle over casserole just before baking.

Step 7

Bake uncovered 45-55 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean and casserole is set.

Step 8

Cool 15 minutes before serving.
