"I found this in a recent issue of Binah Magazine, and, while I haven't made it yet, it looks like a great make-ahead for a busy family morning, or for a celebratory brunch. I did not include the overnight time in the refrigerator in the time estimates for making this recipe."

This worked really well, and was exactly what I wanted. I chose this recipe because it is relatively plain, and would get its added flavour from the assortment of sauces, jams, fruits and whipped cream I planned to serve on the side for our Mother's Day brunch. The egg bread puffed when baking, but deflated after being taken from the oven. I think that the sweetness was just right, and I loved the suble taste of maple syrup.
