Our family usually gets together for Easter Brunch or Easter Dinner. This year we are planning an Easter brunch. We are having Eggs Benedict, Maple French Toast, orange juice, and fresh fruit. Here is a yummy french toast that you can make the day before and pop in the oven Easter morning while you are hiding the Easter eggs or preparing the rest of the meal!

1/2 cup maple-flavored syrup
1 tablespoon margarine or butter
10 (1-inch-thick) slices French bread
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups skim milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups sliced strawberries
