French Toast Souffle

Kids rating: 5 stars
Me: 5 stars

This baby is a crowd pleaser! You make it the night before. I like to make it when we have company because it serves a crowd and isn't great as leftovers.

Also, don't try to get fancy and use good bread. I've tried it, and learned that lesson for all of us. Cheap loaf of white bread. Trust me.

10 cups white bread cubes (about 1 loaf)

1 8-oz package cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup butter

1/2 t vanilla
1/2 t almond extract
1 t cinnamon

1/3 cup powdered sugar

8 eggs

2/3 cups cream

1 1/2 cup milk

Powdered Sugar

6 T melted butter

Place bread cubes in a greased 9x13 inch pan. In a separate bowl, mix cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and syrup, till fluffy. Add eggs. Then add milk and cream. Pour over bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Bake at 375° for 30-45 minutes, or until set and fork comes out clean. Drizzle butter and sprinkle powdered sugar and serve warm with additional syrup or jam.
