Glaze
2 tbsp maple syrup

Position rack in centre of oven, then preheat to 325F. Lightly butter a 9 x 13-in. baking dish.
Whisk eggs with milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and salt in a bowl.
Arrange bread in prepared dish. Pour in milk mixture and submerge bread.

Kitchen Tip
Day-old bread works best for bread puddings, but if you don't have any, cut fresh bread into 1/2-in. cubes and toast in a 325F oven until just dry, 6 to 8 min.
