French Toast in a Pan

Submitted by Chef #1261991

"This recipe is an overnight French Toast recipe. It is very easy to make and cooks up well. The finished toast is not too soft, as with some overnight recipes. I prefer to make mine with Finnish Pulla Bread (a very good recipe here, just search for it), or with any decent bread from the grocery store."

Oh my gosh. This is really good. I searched for a lot of recipes and settled on this one. I used french bread, went a lighter on the cinnamon and added vanilla to the eggs and milk. I baked the 1st 25 minutes with it covered and then took the covering off for the final. It came out great. No mushy bread, not to sweet. I will be making this for a baby shower brunch. Yummy
