Which brand of bread do you use?
Hey there. Iam a bit new to all this being super careful watching what you eat thing. Argh. Anyway, is there a non dairy cream cheese alternative? I have used some vegan cheeses but have not seen a cream one.
For this recipe, I have used Glutino Cinnamon Raisin Bread and Whole Foods Sandwich Bread. Both are really good. I would imagine anything you have would work since you are pouring all this other stuff on top of it. Hope you like it as much as we do!
Wendy tried it, loved it, and wrote about it on her blog!

Yikes--that would be twelve dollars worth of bread where I shop! But it sounds like it would be worth it for the results. Thanks so much for giving us some nice normal recipes to try! This looks like a winner.
