Put half the bread in a 10-inch round or 8 x 12-inch rectangular baking dish and pour half the egg mixture over top. If you partially froze your cream cheese it will crumble easily, so crumble half the cream cheese on top of the bread mixture then top that with half the Sweet Potential. Finish with the remaining bread, egg mixture, cream cheese, and Sweet Potential. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight, or up to 48 hours.
