Directions

Ingredients:
12     slices baguette, each 1½ inches thick    
1 c     sifted powdered sugar
2 T     corn starch
1 pkg     cream cheese (8 oz.)    
½ c     melted butter
2 T     granulated sugar    
1/3 c     Grand Marnier
½ t     ground nutmeg    
3 c     fresh blackberries (or other berries)
½ t     cinnamon            
6     eggs            
1 c     half-and-half            
½ c     whole milk            

Directions:

Combine cream cheese, granulated sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon.  Mix well.
Make a horizontal pocket in each slice of bread.  Spoon about 1½ tablespoons of cheese mixture into each pocket.  Place slices into a greased baking dish (or dishes).
Combine eggs, cream and milk and pour over slices.  Turn so that slices absorb egg mixture evenly.  Pour off any excess egg before placing in oven.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until golden.
