A very easy breakfast to prepare for your family and kids can be ready in only a few minutes. After you wake up, you pop it in the oven!
My children love french toast so when I feel like saving time for breakfast, I will make Overnight French Toast the night before. I generally always have the ingredients in the house and it takes maybe 10 minutes maximum to get it all put together.
I made this recipe last night and here is the recipe:

Recipe Time
Prep Time:
Chill: 8 Hours
Bake: 45 Minutes
- 1 (16-ounce) French bread loaf (I used 10 slices of whole wheat bread)
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Preparation
- Cut bread loaf into about 10 (3/4-inch-thick) slices.
- Spread butter evenly over one cut side of each bread slice.
- Arrange bread, butter side up, in an ungreased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.
- Whisk together eggs and next 5 ingredients; pour over bread, pressing slices down. Cover and chill 8 hours.
- Remove bread slices from baking dish, and place on two lightly greased baking sheets.
- Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 45 minutes or until golden
I prepared the meal as shown but decided to bake the french toast in the same pan as it was chilled overnight in. As per some comments on the webpage, I also buttered the bottom of the pan with some margarine.
Here is the final picture when it was done cooking and out of oven.
My thoughts about this recipe:
Although the outside was crispy while most of the inside was soft, it was crispier than my family liked so I would put it in for a little less time. I took it out a few minutes early and even then, it was fairly crispy. Next time, I may cook for 30-35 minutes as opposed to 45 minutes. Otherwise, it was very yummy and the family loved it.
