Hi Bold Bakers! Breakfast may just be the best meal of the day (not including dessert)! Don’t you just love a lazy weekend morning where you’re allowed to wake up as slowly as you want, when you can take your time enjoying your coffee, and the smell of something warm and cinnamon-y is baking in the oven? Already have an account? The only downside is having to make breakfast when you just want to enjoy your morning. My Overnight French Toast recipe solves that problem!  My homemade Overnight French Toast makes your morning absolutely effortless because all of the work is done the night before. Let’s be honest — it isn’t that much work the night before, either! The bread spends all night soaking up all of the liquid and delicious flavor, and the next morning you have a sweet, custardy French Toast that has a beautiful crunch from nuts and the toasted tops.  The hardest part of this breakfast or brunch will be pouring the mimosas. 

What Is Overnight French Toast?

Overnight French Toast is the perfect breakfast for both a big crowd or just a family meal. All of the work is done the night before. In the morning, instead of standing in over a hot pan cooking one slice at a time, you pop all of your French Toast into a baking dish and let your oven do the work.  It’s easy, custardy, crunchy, and covered in maple syrup.
