Overnight French Toast

This French toast is just decadent. I like it so much better than the fried kind. Plus it is super easy, requires very little morning work, and no standing over a hot stove. And, because it is so easy, it makes a perfect holiday breakfast. It is really hard for me to believe, but the holidays really are just around the corner, and I like to plan ahead. This will definitely be on the menu. Hope you enjoy!

Ingredients

1 13 oz. loaf French bread, cut into 1 to 2 inch cubes (It can be day old.)
8 eggs
3 cups whole milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 Tbsps. sugar

Instructions

Spray a 9″ x 13″ baking dish with cooking spray.
Arrange the bread cubes in the dish evenly.
Beat together eggs, milk, and vanilla.
Pour over bread trying to get some on each piece.
Toss bread to coat.
Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Take French toast out of the refrigerator.
In the morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
While the oven is preheating, mix together cinnamon and sugar.
Drizzle French toast with melted butter trying to get some butter on each piece of bread.
Sprinkle evenly with cinnamon sugar mixture.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until set in the middle. If the top of the toast begins to brown too quickly, you can lay a piece of foil over the top to stop the browning.
