Ingredients Toast:

Butter for spreading

12 French bread slices (3/4 inch thick)

6 eggs

1-1/2 cups milk

1/4 cup sugar

2 Tablespoons maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon salt

Topping For Toast:

sliced kiwi

sliced bananas

sliced strawberries

whipped cream

cherries with stems

Maple-Walnut Syrup:

2 cups maple syrup

1 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

Line two large baking pans with 1-inch sides with heavy-duty foil. Spray with cooking spray. Spread butter on each side of bread slices and place 6 slices in each pan. Beat eggs, milk, sugar, syrup, vanilla and salt to blend in large bowl. Pour mixture over bread. Turn bread slices to coat. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake French bread 10 minutes. Turn bread over and continue baking until just golden, about 5 minutes longer.

Warm maple-walnut syrup in microwave. Transfer toast to plates and top with sliced fruit, warm maple-walnut syrup, whipped cream, and a cherry. I serve bacon with the toast.
