1. 1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. 2. In medium-size bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, butter and maple syrup.
3. 3. Arrange bread cubes and raspberries in a lightly greased 13x9-inch baking pan and pour egg mixture over them, pressing bread cubes with fingers or a spatula to absorb egg mixture. (Can be covered and refrigerated up to a day in advance of baking.)
