• 

  One loaf cinnamon raisin bread at least day old

  7 fresh eggs

  1/2 cup Vt Maple Syrup

  1/2 stick butter

Step 2:

Place 1/2 of cubed bread into buttered 9-10 inch pie pan, sprinkle liberally with cinnamon, then add remaining bread and again sprinkle liberally with cinnamon.

Step 3:

Beat eggs with 2 1/2 cups milk and add maple syrup and the rest of the butter (melted). Pour mixture over the bread & cinnamon, cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator at least overnight.

Take the strata out of the refrigerator at for least 20 minutes then uncover and bake in preheated oven at 325 for approximately 40-45 minutes.
