Maple Breakfast Souffle

Okay, I haven't made this yet, but I am planning on it. It might be our Easter breakfast. I found the recipe in a Smith's coupon booklet that came in the mail. I can tell just by reading the ingredients that it's going to be good. I was ready to throw away the coupon booklet but didn't want to lose the recipe. Sorry to post recipes I haven't tried yet.

1 loaf Hawaiian or egg bread coarsely chopped

1 8 oz. pkg reduced fat cream cheese softened

3/4 c. syrup divided

1/4 c. butter softened (original recipe calls for butter flavored crisco.)

10 large eggs

3 c. whole milk

1 tsp cinnamon

2 tbsp. powdered sugar

Spray a 13x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Sprinkle bread pieces evenly over bottom. Beat cream cheese, 1/4 c. maple syrup and butter in bow of electric mixer until smooth. Spread mixture over bread. Beat eggs, remaining syrup and milk. Pour over bread. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Cover; refrigerate overnight. Heat oven to 350. Uncover. Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until puffed and golden. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve with syrup and butter. Serves 8

to 10.
