Arrange half of the bread cubes in a greased 13-inch x 9-inch x 2-inch baking dish. Top with cream cheese and remaining bread. In a blender, combine eggs, milk, butter and maple syrup; cover and process until smooth. Pour over bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean and a thermometer reads at least 160. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
