For those of you saying "wtf" about the cream cheese.....OMG try it. A friend of mine used to make a "French toast casserole" that had these blobs of melted soft cream cheese and it was heaven!
Having said that...yeah, it really adds a lot of calories.0 -

Well, there is a difference between French Toast and a French Toast Casserole. The wtf was based on the OP asking about French Toast, not the casserole version.0 -
I think the OP is actually asking for a revision of a STUFFED blueberry french toast casserole (this one in particular--which I've actually made):
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/overnight-blueberry-french-toast/
Hence, the cream cheese and cubed bread.
Okay, that's different then; traditional French toast is very simple, hence the "??"
Op, none of the ingredients are unhealthy. Are you looking for a recipe with lower calories? The easiest solution would be to eat a smaller portion, or perhaps use less ingredients. Neufchatel cheese tends to be lower in fat/calories, and imo, works best in recipes anyway. I mean, maybe use eggbeaters and yogurt, but that would probably change the quality a bit too much.
As for "more creative," this recipe looks like a shot of Grand Marnier would do it wonders.0 -

I wrote what I wrote because you said your friend used to make french toast casserole with blobs of soft cream cheese, inferring that you were speaking about cream cheese being used in the french toast casserole. If you were just saying cream cheese on french toast was good, then going with the 2nd thing you wrote would have made more sense.0 -
Semantics.

My bad for reading what is actually written. I'll try harder to work on my psychic mind reading skills. :flowerforyou:0 -

1) someone says "wtf cream cheese with French toast?"
2) I reply with a comment about how I've had a dish that combines cream cheese with French toast, thereby explaining that French toast and cream cheese are in fact delicious together (regardless if they are in a casserole or not.)
I hope that helped clarify.:flowerforyou:0 -

Would you consider the following next time?
12 slices whole wheat bread
3 eggs
1 cup skim milk
1 cup low fat buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon of each cinnamon and allspice
Berries and sliced bananas.
Would serve 6.
Mix the ingredients (except bread), heat up a pan (medium), oil (with a brush) with light oil, quickly dip in the bread to cover, fry, serve with the fruits and a drizzle of maple syrup. I have not made the calorie count, but this is has been successful for a number of years in our house!0 -
:drinker: :laugh: :smokin:
Seriously folks...use some egg beaters in place of the eggs, skim milk and real vanilla extract and some cinnamon...If you must use cream cheese choose the fat free kind...It works great in a French toast casserole.
