1 cup maple syrup

1 tablespoon cinnamon

1 can crushed pineapple -- (20 ounce)

Break the eggs into at least a 2 quart mixing bowl or measuring bowl and whisk them until mixed. Add sugar, vanilla, maple syrup, cinnamon and mix. Then add milk, mix again and set aside. Drain the crushed pineapple over the bread cubes and then drain the mandarin orange slices over the bread cubes.
