Oooh, now I get it..
I'm looking for some breakfast casseroles. I would specifically love to have a recipe for French Toast Casserole that had cream cheese. What's your favorite breakfast/brunch casserole? What's a good beverage, besides juice or coffee, for brunch? I would like to host a brunch and welcome any ideas. Thanks!

There are many recipes for overnight (i.e., baked) french toast. I see that one of the Yeddai has already provided a version to try; you can also check some of the community cooking web sites for others.
Try www.allrecipes.com or www.Recipezaar.com for starters.
Meanwhile, I think choosing your menu depends on what you've determined you want to do. How busy do you want to be? Do you want to be cooking when your guests arrive? Or do you prefer to have everything ready ahead of time?
If it were me, I'd probably do a baked french toast with berries; a bacon, cheese and potato torta; a fruit clafouti; a chile relleno casserole; a sour cream coffee cake and probably a platter of assorted fresh fruit and mini muffins.
You might want to drop by your nearest used book store and browse the cookbook section. You'll find lots of suggestions within the offerings, I think.
