WHAT IS BAKED FRENCH TOAST?
Baked french toast is one of my favorite breakfasts.
Traditional French toast is made on the stovetop and requires you to stand there and cook slice after slice of toast in the skillet. I have a large family and this can be a LONG process. Invariably I end up eating last.
Baking French toast in the oven is so much easier and the result is just as delicious if not more delicious.
I like the option of preparing baked French toast the night before and keeping it in the refrigerator overnight and in the morning just popping the pan into the oven to bake.
The basic ingredients are the same, but it is easier to change up baked French toast for variety.

Now grab a small bowl and combine the cinnamon and sugar. Stir to combine these dry ingredients.
STEP FIVE: LAYER FRENCH TOAST
Pour half of the wet ingredients over the bread in the baking dish.

Layer the remaining bread on top and pour the remaining egg mixture over the top. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon and sugar mixture over the top.
STEP SIX: REFRIGERATE
Place the baking dish in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 30 minutes to give the bread time to soak up all the goodness.
