This recipe for Cherry Cheesecake French Toast involves using crusty french bread, cream cheese, sugar, eggs, vanilla and almond extracts, cherry pie filling, eggs, milk and nutmeg, and chilling until baking.
The layering of the french toast is achieved best in a standard rectangular baking dish or a slightly smaller pan to keep the filling inside. You can use a 12 x 8 inch or 13 x 9 inch pan for assembling and baking, if that's what you have handy. Either size will work, don't sweat the small stuff.
