Overnight Baked French Toast

"We tried this over the Christmas holidays and it was a hit! Love that it leaves the morning free from cooking during family get-togethers. It originally came from the Allrecipes site, and we made a few changes."

  1. I've searched high and low for this exact recipe I recently experienced at a wedding brunch. SO amazing! I would have to up the output in one sitting because it was so popular and people ate countless servings but I plan to make it for my family soon. Kudos and many thanks to the originator!!!
     
  2. This was excellent! Just thought I would add that I used a thick baguette bread, and did not turn the bread over after 30 minutes, as when I started to, the bread seemed to want to break apart, so I just returned it to the oven for 15 minutes longer and it turned out fine!
     
  3. This recipe is a winner. The bread broke apart for me, too. I got under it with a spatula and did the best I could. I’m not sure how they got nice, intact, slices for the photos. It was a little ugly, but tasted delicious. I added some maple syrup to the cooktop ingredients and it was tasty.
     
  4. I made this for the Fall '09 PAC swap. My family really enjoyed this tasty breakfast treat. Sweet, buttery, gooey deliciousness. Thank you for sharing mapaklenk!

<p>Since I practically live on this website, my daughter thought it fitting for me to finally post a little about myself. I have so enjoyed getting to know little snip-its of the amazing cooks on this site, I feel I should join the masses and share a little about me :) I am recently retired and now have even more chances to explore new recipes and cook for my family. I have always believed in a home-cooked way of life for my family and fortunately have bestowed my joy of cooking onto my children. Although my DH is an extreme meat and potatoes kind of eater, I have managed to find opportunites here and there to explore the many facets of flavorful cooking. <br /><br />I have the privilege of having my oldest living just down the street with my beautiful, bright grandson, who I bring home with me after school everyday. My father is also down the road and LOVEs enjoying my treats at least once a week. The best, though, is when my daughter- who shares this hobby and love for food with me- comes to town and we spend hours planning, searching and preparing fun new recipes. <br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg alt= /></p>
