A Taste of Oklahoma Heaven

1 loaf firm bread, cubed
8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
10 eggs
1-1/2 cups half-and-half
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted

TO PREPARE:

     Arrange half the bread cubes in a 9x13-inch baking dish sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.  Layer with cream cheese and remaining bread cubes.
     Whisk the eggs, half-and-half, butter and maple syrup in a bowl until blended.  Pour the egg mixture over the prepared layers, pressing the bread cubes to ensure even coverage.  Chill, covered with plastic wrap, for 8 to 10 hours.  Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 50 minutes or until set.  Serve with jam, confectioners' sugar and/or syrup.
