French Toast Souffle'
1 loaf cubed good white bread
8 oz. cream cheese (can use light)
8 T. softened butter
12 eggs
3 C. Milk (can use skim)
1 can pie filling
cinnamon
powdered sugar
1/2 C. maple syrup
Place 1/2 the cubed bread in a greased 9x13 pan. Put pie filling on top and sprinkle with cinnamon. Put on the rest of the bread . Microwave butter, cream cheese and maple syrup together for one minute and blend. Place on top of the souffle leaving areas for egg miture to flow through. Mix eggs and mlk and pour over top. sprinkle with cinnamon (I use cinnamon sugar). Cover and refrigerate overnight. Uncover and bake one hour or until done. (My oven takes an hour and a half.) Sprinkle withi powdered sugar. I like to serve with warm maple syrup or if I've made a blueberry souffle' I make a blueberry syrup by crushing blue berries (frozen) and add them to maple syrup.
