Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
Bread (Hawaiian rolls)
1/3 cup pecans or walnuts(optional)
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
8 eggs
1 ¾ cup milk (I use a can of eagle brand milk and then regular milk for the rest)
2 teaspoons vanilla
Maple syrup
Directions:
Directions:
1. Using a piece of waxed paper, generously grease a 13- by 9-inch glass baking dish with softened butter.
2. Cut the bread into 1 inch pieces.
3. Chop the nuts using a knife or a food chopper.
4. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped pecans or walnuts.
5. Arrange half the bread in a single layer in the prepared dish, then sprinkle half the sugar mixture evenly over the top. Add a second layer with the remaining bread and the sugar mixture.
6. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs. Add the milk and vanilla extract, whisking until well blended.
7. Starting from the sides of the dish and working toward the center, pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread. With a spatula, gently press down on the bread to coat it with the egg mixture. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight or at least 4 hours.
8. Heat the oven to 350°. Bake the casserole covered for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking until the casserole turns a light golden brown and looks slightly puffed, about 30 minutes more. I usually sprinkle a little powdered sugar for looks. Serve the casserole warm with maple syrup.
