4. Add bread to egg/custard mixture and press on the bread to submerge.
5. Whisk the remaining orange extract and powdered sugar into the softened cream cheese.
6. Add 1/3 of the bread and custard mixture to the bottom of the casserole dish.
7. Next add ½ of the cream cheese and cranberry sauce on top of the bread. Repeat this process twice. Finally, add the last 1/3 of the bread and custard mixture.
8. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
9. To bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees.. Spray the inside of aluminum foil with non-stick spray and place the casserole on a large rimmed baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes. Uncover and allow to finish baking for 5-10 minutes or until golden!
