I love to surprise overnight guests with a decadent breakfast. I just don’t want to get up at dawn to deliver it.

That’s why I really like overnight breakfast casseroles. And my kids are especially fond of baked french toast casseroles.

During the summer, this Make Ahead Blueberry French Toast is one of my favorites. In September, we like to make this Baked Apple French Toast. And in the fall, this Overnight Pumpkin French Toast is always a hit.

I wanted to try something different for winter and the result is this Overnight Cherry Baked French Toast Casserole.
