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!

- Take French toast out of the refrigerator.

- Drizzle French toast with melted butter trying to get some butter on each piece of bread.
