She originally got the recipe from the March 2006 issue of Readers Digest magazine but changed out the bread. I made it using her subsitution of blueberry bread.
Banana French Toast
recipe from Tammie S.
8 slices of raisin bread (we used blueberry bread)
2 medium bananas, cut into 1/4" slices
1 cup milk
4 oz cream cheese, softened
3 eggs
1/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons vanilla
Heat oven to 350 degrees, if preparing the same day. Place four slices of bread in a buttered 9 x 9 baking dish. Top with bananas and the last four slices of bread. Blend milk, cream cheese, eggs, sugar, flour and vanilla in a blender until smooth. Pour over bread. Let stand 5 minutes or refrigerate overnight. Bake 40-45 minutes (50-55 if refrigerated) until set and top is toasted. Let stand 10 minutes. Cut french toast into diagonal halves; dust servings with powdered sugar if desired.
My notes: I baked it the same day as making it so let it stand 5 minutes - next time I would maybe let it stand 10 minutes so more of the custard soaked into the top layer of bread. I used a blueberry cobbler bread (Grandpa's Oven brand) and forgot the powdered sugar dusting but it was still very good.
We will make this again and try different variations of it as well - blueberry bread with fresh blueberries rather than bananas, raisin bread without fruit and plain bread with strawberries.

Thumbs up from me, too! It looks fantastic!
Blueberry bread sounds even better than raisin bread for this! It sounds delicious, Marsha.
Sounds like a delicious treat!
That looks absolutely delicious. I'm going to file that one and hopefully make it soon!
