Preparation
- Dice the bread and cream cheese into cubes. Peel and dice the apples. Melt the butter.

- In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the half & half creamer, almond milk, melted butter and pancake syrup. Pour the mixture over the bread. Cover baking dish with plastic wrap and press down so that all the pieces are soaked. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight

Helpful hints
- Replace eggs with 2 cups low cholesterol egg product to reduce cholesterol to 37 mg per serving.
- Lower carbohydrate content by substituting sugar-free syrup if you have diabetes.
- Use your favorite milk substitute if you do not like almond milk. Some brands of half & half contain phosphate additives. Always check the ingredient list and avoid products with phosphate additives.
- Portions are generous—may be divided into smaller servings for a larger crowd.
