Filling

• 2 eight-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter 15x10x1-inch baking pan. In small bowl combine and mix filling ingredients.

French Toast

• 24 slices raisin bread
• 1-1/4 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 8 eggs
• 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar (more if desired)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• maple syrup as accompaniment

Combine milk and next 4 ingredients, beating until well blended. Pour into large bowl. Dip bread in milk mixture, turning to coat both sides evenly. Place on baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, then turn slices over and continue baking an additional 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Dust lightly with additional confectioners' sugar, if desired. Serve with warm maple syrup. Variations: Red raspberry or strawberry preserves can be substituted for fresh bananas in filling, or you can use fresh strawberries.
