In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, vanilla and beat with a rotary beater or whisk until blended but not too bubbly. Pour mixture over the bread slices, making sure all are covered evenly with the milk-egg mixture. Spoon some of the mixture in between the slices. Cover tightly with Glad Wrap and refrigerate overnight.

  3. Prepare the Praline Topping:

  5. Spread Praline Topping evenly over the bread and bake for 40 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden.
  6. Serve with maple syrup.
