The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 10 ounce loaf cinnamon swirl bread
  • 2 cups half-and-half (regular or fat-free)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup real maple syrup

  • Cut bread into cubes, and add to a baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together half and half, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour over bread cubes.
  • Let the bread stand for about 20 minutes to absorb some of the liquid.
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until done. If it starts to get too brown, tent with foil.
