The Best French Toast Casserole Aka Oven French Toast
"This is the best french toast casserole that you will find as it combines french bread, eggs, milk, half and half, with brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. This oven french toast is the perfect weekend breakfast or even holiday brunch. Choosing the right bread when making your oven french toast is key. Using dense bread is best! Try French bread or a Brioche. Be sure you let the egg mixture really soak into the bread. This creates a soft custard delicious crust. If you are in a hurry and don’t do this, it can create a very soggy breakfast. "
