Baked French Toast is a fun way to have a family breakfast. You’re basically using the ingredients for French Toast (both before made and when you eat it) as a casserole. This is perfect for Christmas or Thanksgiving morning, “Breakfast for Dinner”, desserts and a great dish to bring for potlucks. If you are planning it for the morning, you may want to pre cut the bread, pre mix the eggs/milk portion of the recipe the night before, just to save some time while storing the mixture in the refrigerator.
You will need a glass 13×9 casserole dish to bake the French Toast. You’ll also need a mixing bowl and a saucepan.
When serving this, you can add fresh fruit, powdered sugar, whip cream or even ice cream.
