Ingredients

8 slices of bread
4 eggs
2 cups of milk
1/2 cup of maple syrup, plus extra for serving
1/4 cup of melted butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon of salt

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cut the bread slices into triangles and arrange them in a single layer in the greased baking dish.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk, maple syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
Pour the egg mixture over the bread slices, ensuring all the bread is soaked. Press down gently to make sure the bread absorbs the liquid mixture.
Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the bread to fully absorb the liquid.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve the maple syrup casserole warm, drizzled with additional maple syrup if desired.
Enjoy your heavenly breakfast!
