- Grease an 8x8 pan.

- Dot the cream cheese/fruit over the bread layers, squishing cheese/fruit down slightly.
- Cover with the remaining 1 1/2 cups of white bread and the remaining 1 1/2 cups of whole wheat bread, again alternating so the two types of bread are spread around, again pressing down to create an even top layer.
- Combine the remaining ingredients and pour over bread and cheese.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- In the morning, remove plastic wrap and bake in oven for 45 minutes that has been preheated to 375°F.
