For Souffle
4 -5 medium croissants (baked, I used 6 large ones from Costco)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened or 8 ounces neufchatel cheese
4 ounces butter, softened
3/4 cup maple syrup, divided
10 eggs
3 cups half-and-half
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
powdered sugar
chopped pecans
For Sauce
4 ounces butter
1/2 cup maple syrup

1
Coarsely chop croissants; distribute evenly in greased 13X9 inch casserole dish.
2
Combine cream cheese, butter, and 1/3 cup maple syrup; spread evenly over chopped croissants.
3
In large bowl, beat eggs, 1/2 cup maple syrup, and half-and-half; pour over mixture.
4
Sprinkle with cinnamon.
5
Cover and refrigerate overnight.
6
In the morning, remove from refrigerator. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
7
Uncover and bake 45 to 50 minutes or until golden. (It will be very light and puffy; let it sit for 5-10 minutes while you make the sauce; once it settles down a little, you will be able to pour the sauce and put nuts on it more easily.).
8
In small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup maple syrup and pour over warm souffle.
9
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and chopped pecans.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
