French Toast Souffle

A firm white bread produces the best texture in this make-ahead breakfast casserole.

      
Place bread cubes in a 13 x 9 inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.  Beat cream cheese at medium speed of mixer until smooth.  Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition.  Add milk, half-and half, ½ cup maple syrup, and vanilla, and mix until smooth.  Pour cream cheese mixture over top of bread, cover and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat oven to 375°.

Remove bread mixture from refrigerator, let stand on counter for 30 minutes.  Bake at 375° for 50 minutes or until set.  Sprinkle the soufflé with powdered sugar, and serve with maple syrup.
