- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg

Steps
- Heat the oven to 350 F and grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter.
- Cut the bread into cubes and spread them evenly in the dish.
- Whisk the eggs, eggnog, half the sugar, one-quarter cup maple syrup, one teaspoon vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt.
- Pour the egg mixture over the bread and press gently so it absorbs the liquid.
