| Individual Baked French Toast Soufflé |
Last week, I was a guest blogger for ThePinkandBlueBlog.com. I shared with their readers my recipe for individual Baked French Toast Soufflé... here it is!
...............................................................
Brunch is one of my favorite parties to host. In the morning, everyone is relaxed and casual- my style of "entertaining." Oh, and you have an excuse to serve cocktails at 10 a.m.! As a caterer and event designer, I planned many brunches for baby showers (click here to see some of the baby showers!), corporate meetings and send-off brunches for the day-after a wedding. To survive these early morning events, I would design menus around recipes that could be made the night before because I quickly got tired of staying up late to make time consuming muffins and cinnamon rolls from scratch.
Almost out of necessity, I came up with this very simple recipe that takes 10 minutes to put together, can be made the day before, baked in the morning and is beautiful to serve. Did I mention how good they are?! The bread soaked in the vanilla, cinnamon and maple syrup custard puffs up to create a light and fluffy souffle that is toasted on top, dusted with powdered sugar... do I need to go on?
