Oil a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Pour half the maple syrup in the bottom of the baking dish. Place all of cubed or torn bread in the pan, distribute evenly. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs, add remaining ingredients except for maple syrup. Mix contents of bowl together, creating a basic custard. Pour custard over bread, again distribute evenly. Pat-down bread so that it soaks up the liquid, ensuring all the bread is moist. Using remaining 1/2 cup maple syrup, evenly coat the top of the casserole.

Leftover buns work great, for the bread.
