Ingredients

• 1 (12 oz) loaf French bread, cut into 1″ cubes (stale works best!)
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup edible cookie dough (store-bought or homemade)
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs
• 1½ cups milk (whole or 2%)
• ½ cup chocolate chips
• Maple syrup (for serving)

(Optional: Powdered sugar or whipped cream for topping)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Bread & Cheesecake Swirl

1. Grease a 9×13″ baking dish. Spread bread cubes evenly in the dish.
2. In a bowl, beat cream cheese, cookie dough, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
3. Dollop spoonfuls of the mixture over the bread, then gently press to partially submerge.

2. Make the Custard

4. Whisk eggs and milk in a separate bowl. Pour evenly over the bread.
5. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top.

3. Chill (Overnight or Bake Now)

6. For best results: Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).
7. Short on time? Let soak 30 minutes at room temp before baking.

4. Bake & Serve

8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
9. Bake 40-45 minutes until golden and set (cover with foil if browning too fast).
10. Drizzle with maple syrup and serve warm!

Pro Tips

Variations
