VERY YUMMY! All the other overnight recipes I found you had to bake 30-40 in the morning after letting it come to room temperature for 30 mins. Which is not going to happen on a school day for me, I need my sleep :o) I did tweak this just a bit.<br/>I omitted the OJ<br/>used evaporated milk in place of the regular milk<br/>I used approx. 2tsp. of vanilla ( I poured it in didn't measure)<br/>and I only used 3 eggs I was afraid of getting the "eggy" french toast. 3 eggs worked perfectly for me. Great recipe when I have left over french bread we will be having this in the AM for breakfast. <br/>My kids loved it even my child who refuses to eat breakfast in the morning.

I love this because it is so easy and doesn't require baking in the oven. Simple ingredients, too. Thank you for a recipe we plan to enjoy again (tomorrow, in fact)!
