1 teaspoon cinnamon
any fruit (I use blueberries)

White Chocolate Sauce
5 ounces white chocolate (1 cup if using chips)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place bread cubes in greased 8-inch square dish and mix in fruit by hand.
2.  In a large bowl whisk eggs, milk, cream, sugar, butter, vanilla, and cinnamon. Pour over bread.
3. Bake uncovered for 50-60 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.
