18 slices French bread baguette (about 1/2 inch thick)
1-1/2 cups half-and-half cream
1 cup white baking chips, chopped
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup 2% milk

Whisk in eggs, honey, extract and cinnamon until blended. Stir in cream mixture; pour over bread. Refrigerate, covered, several hours or overnight.

Bake, covered, 40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Uncover; bake 10-15 minutes longer or until golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
