You Will Need
4 slices bread, cut into 1-inch cubes, divided
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup fresh or frozen unsweetened raspberries
3 eggs
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 cup 2% milk

RASPBERRY SYRUP
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup fresh or frozen unsweetened raspberries

What to Do
