This is a very RICH breakfast, and very very DELISH. You really won't need syrup to enjoy. :)
It's so easy to make the night before, and pop into the oven the next morning.
This is also a wonderful brunch dish or dessert for something differentComments from the Test Kitchen:
Mmmm....mmmm.... good! We used hazelnut creamer and substituted two slices of regular cinnamon bread when we couldn't find thick cut. Naturally, that "forced" us to spread cream cheese on the additional slices too. No complaints!
Directions
Spray 13 by 9 inch baking dish with cooking spray.Spread each slice bread with light layer of cream cheese and place in dish.In separate bowl, melt margarine and brown sugar. Set aside.In another bowl, mix cinnamon, nutmeg, eggs, salt and creamer and pour over bread. Top with brown sugar mixture made in step aboveSprinkle pecans over entire dish. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.Next morning, leave covered and bake at 350 degrees F for about 45 minutes. Cut into squares and dust with powdered sugar.

Karen. . . if you want to make it less sweet, use half and half instead of the creamer.
I have made this four times. The first time I made it was for my Father in law and made the recipe as written. He LOVED it!! (So did I) My husband thought it was too sweet.
The second time was at home and I used sugar free french vanilla creamer and Splenda brown sugar mix. My husband said it was Nasty. And truthfully, it was. There was an off, almost bitter taste and super sweet.
The third time I used half and half and only one cup of the Splenda brown sugar mix. It was good.
This past weekend, I made it using half and half, cheesecake flavored cream cheese spread and Ideal brown sugar flavored sweetener. It was AWESOME good! I will make it this way from now on.
Ideal is a relatively new sweetener made from Xylitol. It tastes so good in everything. I got it once at my local Safeway and then when I went for more they didn't have it. So, I have been ordering it from Netrition.com But you can purchase it at Alberstons and if you are in Texas, some HEB's have it. they have regular, brown sugar and confectionery. They are all awesome in taste.
