Ladies and gentlemen, get ready to elevate your breakfast game with this absolutely divine French Toast Soufflé that’ll make you feel like you’re dining at a luxury hotel in Paris! Trust me, your taste buds are about to go on a magical journey.
Let me tell you, I stumbled upon this recipe during one of my “I’m-tired-of-basic-breakfast” moments, and honey, it’s been a game-changer! This isn’t your regular French toast – it’s that fancy cousin who studied abroad and came back speaking three languages. 😉
What You’ll Need (because we’re fancy today):
– 1 loaf of brioche bread (day-old is perfect)
– 6 large eggs (farm-fresh if you’re extra like me)
– 2 cups of heavy cream
– 1 cup whole milk
– 1/2 cup real maple syrup
– 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste (or extract if you’re not feeling bougie)
– 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
– 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
– Pinch of sea salt
– Fresh berries for topping
– Powdered sugar for that Instagram-worthy finish
Now, let’s get cooking, shall we?
1. First things first, slice that gorgeous brioche into thick pieces. We’re talking thicc with two c’s, honey! Arrange them in a buttered 9×13 baking dish, slightly overlapping like shingles on a roof.
1. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and spices until smooth. Pour this heavenly mixture over your bread, making sure every piece gets some love. Cover and refrigerate overnight (I know, the waiting is torture, but trust your girl on this one!).

1. The next morning, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Let the dish come to room temperature while your oven heats up.
1. Bake for 45-50 minutes until it’s puffed up like your favorite Instagram influencer’s lips (kidding! 😂) and golden brown on top.
1. While it’s still hot, dust with powdered sugar, top with fresh berries, and drizzle with extra maple syrup because we deserve nice things!
The result? A breakfast soufflé that’s crispy on top, custardy in the middle, and absolutely heavenly with every bite. It’s perfect for those lazy weekend mornings or when you want to impress your mother-in-law (we’ve all been there!).
Pro tip: Serve this with a mimosa on the side. It’s five o’clock somewhere, right? 🥂
