            -ELAINE RADIS BGMB90B
       8    Bread; challa is best
       4 oz Cream cheese
       4    Eggs; large
     1/2 c  Half and half; or milk*
     1/3 c  Marmelade; or jam of choice
  
   *Sometimes more... Howard made this just last month in
   honer of his Dad at JAKE'S in Londonderry, VT.  It is
   truly 'baaad'and Mort promised he would eat it only at
   the restaruant.
   
   TAke all the ingredients except the bread and put
   through the blender or FP. Spray with Pam (at this
   point, who cares) or butter a 8 square pan. Pour a
   bit of the batter in the bottom of the pan and put 4
   slices down and pour about half the batter over the
   bread. Then 4 more slices and the rest of the batter.
   
   Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake at 350 degrees for
   about 3/4 hour. Pour the batter at least 1 hour before
   baking and as much as overnight. Please refigerate.
   Howard stuffed the bread with extra chuncks of cream
   cheese....but why not fruit like apples or banana
   slices???? You could add some brown sugar to the
   batter and a dash of vanilla. We didn't, but served
   with VERMONT MAPLE SYRUP. Converted by MMCONV vers.
