10 c. cubed (1 inch) sturdy white bread
6 large eggs
4 large egg whites
3 c. whole milk
1/2 c. maple syrup
1 tbsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tbsp. confectioners sugar

Place bread cubes in a 13 x 9 inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Beat eggs and egg whites with a wire whisk until blended. Add milk, maple syrup, cinnamon and vanilla and whisk until smooth. Pour mixture over top of bread and press down gently, making sure bread is completely coated; cover and refrigerate one hour or as long as overnight.

Heat oven to 350°F. Remove bread mixture from refrigerator and press bread down gently to resoak; let stand on counter for 30 minutes.

Bake until set, 45 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle top with confectioners sugar and serve with additional maple syrup, if desired.
