Ingredients

10 cups of white bread that has been cut into 1-inch square pieces
8 ounces cream cheese softened
8 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk (I used 2%)
2/3 cup half and half
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup maple syrup for serving
Powdered sugar for serving

Instructions

Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Place the cubed bread into the dish.
10 cups of white bread that has been cut into 1-inch square pieces
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add in the milk, half and half, 1/2 cup of the maple syrup and the vanilla and beat until combined. (There may still be some small chunks of cream cheese, but that is normal.) Pour the mixture over the bread cubes, pressing the bread down to make sure it is all soaked with the liquid. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

The next morning, remove the casserole from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
Bake, uncovered, for 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Pour the remaining 1/2 cup of maple syrup over the casserole and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
