This simple, make ahead dish is perfect for Christmas morning. I made this for my son's birthday (he loves breakfast!) and drizzled with a yummy caramel sauce (straight out of a jar!). This recipe is adapted from one I found in Gifts of Good Taste. Ingredients:
16 ounces loaf french bread |
8 ounces cream cheese, softened |
2 cups whipping cream |
1/2 cup maple syrup |
12 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Place bread crumbs in a large casserole. In large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in whipping cream and maple syrup; beat until well combined. Beat in eggs, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Pour mixture over bread, pressing into bread into mixture. Cover and chill for 8 hours. Allow pan to come to room temp, about 30 minutes. Top with aluminum foil and bake at 375 for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake 18-22 minutes longer or until center is set and top is golden brown. Serve with additional maple syrup.
