This light and fluffy version of french toast is delicious and simple. I use bread leftover from dinner, so it's easy to prepare. It's perfect for holidays, brunches, or anytime! Note: My favorite bread to use is Rose Daly's Buttermilk Bread for the Bread Machine (see recipe on JAP). It is perfect for this recipe!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

So good and easy to prepare, you'll find reasons to make this French toast souffle. It would be delicious when hosting house guests or on a holiday (Christmas morning, Mother's Day, etc). Rich and custardy, the souffle is perfectly sweet and spiced. You don't need syrup because the brown sugar mixture makes this sweet enough. It can be topped with fruit and a bit of whipped cream or eaten as-is out of the oven. It's so good!
