Makes 6 servings

Use a deep baking dish to ensure all the bread soaks up the egg mixture well. It will give you a fluffy French toast casserole in a jiffy. Are you an early riser? That’s ok because this casserole can be left in on warm in the oven until everyone is ready to enjoy it. Top your French toast with a little syrup or confectioners’ sugar as this tasty dish isn’t as sweet as some may prefer.
