4 sl Good white bread
3/4 c Milk
3 tb Butter
2 Eggs
1/4 c Maple syrup
1/4 c + 1 T Sugar

Remove the crust from the bread and toast the slices. Tear into small
cubes and place in a bowl. Heat the milk with 2 tablespoons of the
butter and pour over the bread cubes. Use the remaining butter to
coat a 1-quart casserole. After the toast has soaked for 1- minutes,
beat together the eggs, maple syrup, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt, then
stir in the rhubarb and combine with the bread mixture. Pour into
buttered casserole, sprinkle remaining sugar on top and bake for 40
minutes in a preheated 325 F oven. Serve warm with maple-flavored
whipped cream. Serves 4.
