Steps
1
Plan ahead! This recipe requires time overnight.

Coat a 9” by 13” baking dish with cooking spray or softened butter and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together the eggs, half and half, white and brown sugars, vanilla, and cinnamon.
3
Arrange half the bread cubes in the prepared baking dish and spread out to cover the bottom. Pour half the egg mixture evenly over the bread and distribute the cream cheese bits randomly over the bread. Top with the remaining bread cubes and egg mixture.

Cover tightly with foil and refrigerate overnight.

When ready to cook, set the Traeger to 350℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.
