Description

This scrumptious French toast soufflé is made with bread, cream cheese, eggs, and milk and tastes just like regular French toast but is made the night before and baked in the oven.

Ingredients

cooking spray
10 cups white bread cubes
1 (8 ounce) package lowfat cream cheese, softened
8 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
2/3 cup half-and-half cream
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Directions

1 Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray; add bread cubes.
2 In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in milk, half-and-half, maple syrup, and vanilla until mixture is smooth; pour over bread cubes. Cover and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
3 The next morning, remove soufflé from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4 Bake soufflé, uncovered, in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Serve warm, sprinkled with confectioners' sugar.
