Ingredients
  

  • 2 rolls Pillsbury crusty French loaf
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup cinnamon/sugar (whatever ratio you like)
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions
 

  • Bake the French bread according to the package directions and set aside. Cube the bread into approximately 1-1 /2 inch pieces and add them into a large bowl.
  • In a medium bowl mix the milk, eggs, vanilla and cinnamon sugar until it's smooth and custard-like. Pour it over the bread cubes. Let that soak for about 10 minutes, stirring to make sure it's evenly coated.
  • Pour the maple syrup into the bottom of the bundt pan (or your baking dish). Sprinkle walnuts over syrup. Top the nuts with the custard soaked French bread and bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes, or until firm and bubbly! Let it cool slightly. Invert serving platter onto the top and turn it out. To serve, cut slices and drizzle with warm maple syrup. Makes 1 cake. Enjoy!
