Overnight Maple French Toast

Because this rich French toast gets completely assembled in advance, it's a good timesaver for a company breakfast or brunch. In the morning, just pop in the oven and bake.

I just made this for a brunch we hosted the day after my daughter's wedding, everyone loved it. We made it the day before and baked it that morning, it was gone. We did cut back on the syrup, but then people justed added more. Loved that I could make it the day before.

My family absolutely loves this. It is so easy and so incredibly good. Making it Sunday for friends to eat while watching football. Can't wait.

I love it!! The whole family loves it as well. Very quick and easy to prepare. I used a nonstick pan and no problems with the bread sticking to the pan. I also used BBQ bread - I can fit 10 in the pan that way (two rows of 4 and two at the end - had to push together to fit but it works). I served with the sticky side up and just a little bit of confectioner sugar. Doesn't need anything else.

Fantastic! Only had 4 hrs to let it set and it turned out great! Served on platter with carmel side up. No need to add anything else to the french toast - was great just the way it was! Super easy!

This is a great recipe. I did tweak it a bit and skip the part where you put the syrup on the bottom of the pan...sticks terribly. Also had a hard time fitting in 10 slices of bread in the pan so I just cut the bread into cubes. Have also tried adding a couple of tablespoons of oj into the milk. Gives it a nice flavor. A great base recipe with many possibilities!!
