-------------------------------------

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In a 1 quart saucepan, melt margarine over medium heat and stir in sugar and corn syrup until smooth.

In a 13 X 9 inch baking dish, evenly pour sugar mixture, then add bread slices, arranging in 1 layer.

In a large bowl, with a wire whisk, blend remaining ingredients.
Evenly pour over bread slices, pressing bread down until some liquid is absorbed.

Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.

Remove dish from refrigerator and bring to room temperature.

Bake uncovered 35 minutes or until bread is golden brown.

Serve warm and, if desired, with sliced strawberries.
