Ladies and gentlemen, get ready to elevate your breakfast game with this absolutely divine Stuffed French Toast Casserole thatโll make your taste buds dance! Trust me, this recipe has become my familyโs weekend obsession, and I just had to share it with all of you beautiful souls.
Picture this: warm, pillowy brioche bread soaked in a heavenly custard mixture, stuffed with a dreamy cream cheese filling, and topped with fresh berries and maple syrup. I mean, could breakfast get any better? _winks_
Let me tell you, the first time I made this for my husband, he literally proposed to me again! (Okay, maybe Iโm exaggerating, but his face said it all! ๐)
What Youโll Need:
โ 1 loaf brioche bread, slightly stale
โ 8 oz cream cheese, softened
โ 6 large eggs
โ 2 cups whole milk
โ 1/2 cup heavy cream
โ 1/3 cup maple syrup
โ 2 tsp vanilla extract
โ 1 tsp cinnamon
โ 1/4 tsp nutmeg
โ Pinch of salt
โ Fresh berries for topping
โ Additional maple syrup for serving
Yโall, this is where the magic happens! Hereโs how to make it:
1. Cut your brioche into thick slices (about 1-inch). Letโs be real, the thicker, the better!
1. Mix that softened cream cheese with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup until smooth. This is what dreams are made of, honey!
1. Spread the cream cheese mixture between two slices of bread, making little sandwiches. Arrange these babies in a greased 9ร13 baking dish.
