Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Day-old bread (such as brioche or challah)
- 6 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing the dish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and maple syrup together until smooth and creamy.
Spread the bread cubes evenly in the greased baking dish.
Pour the egg and milk mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all the bread is soaked and well-coated.
Using a small spoon, dollop the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top of the bread cubes.
Gently press down the bread cubes to fully submerge them in the liquid mixture. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to soak.
Bake the soufflé in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set but still slightly soft.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.
Dust the soufflé with powdered sugar for garnish and serve warm with additional maple syrup, if desired.
