Time P1DT50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 -5 medium croissants (baked, I used 6 large ones from Costco)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened or 8 ounces neufchatel cheese
4 ounces butter, softened
3/4 cup maple syrup, divided
10 eggs
3 cups half-and-half
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
powdered sugar
chopped pecans
4 ounces butter
1/2 cup maple syrup

Steps:

  • Coarsely chop croissants; distribute evenly in greased 13X9 inch casserole dish.
  • Combine cream cheese, butter, and 1/3 cup maple syrup; spread evenly over chopped croissants.
  • In large bowl, beat eggs, ½ cup maple syrup, and half-and-half; pour over mixture.
  • Sprinkle with cinnamon.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • In the morning, remove from refrigerator. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Uncover and bake 45 to 50 minutes or until golden. (It will be very light and puffy; let it sit for 5-10 minutes while you make the sauce; once it settles down a little, you will be able to pour the sauce and put nuts on it more easily.).
  • In small saucepan, heat ½ cup butter and ½ cup maple syrup and pour over warm soufflé.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar and chopped pecans.

Time 45m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup dark brown sugar
French bread
5 tablespoons butter
5 eggs
2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
1/2 cup milk
chopped pecans
cinnamon

Steps:

  • Spray a 13x9 baking dish liberally with cooking spray.
  • Mix brown sugar, butter, & corn syrup (add a touch of cinnamon) in a saucepan and cook until bubbly. Pour into baking dish. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.
  • Slice French bread, layer in pan.
  • Mix well in a bowl; eggs, milk and cinnamon. Pour over bread. Make sure to get some of the milk mixture on each slice.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 30 � 45 minutes. Invert on to serving platter or another baking dish. Enjoy!
  • ***I add cinnamon to taste. I use between a teaspoon & a tablespoon for the whole recipe. I don�t measure, just shake. I also cut French bread slices in half and put cut side down. You can also serve this with whipped cream & strawberries. I prefer warm syrup. I like to invert onto something I can put into the oven to help everything to �set-up� better & keep it warm so I can get everything else done.
