EASY OVERNIGHT FRENCH TOAST



Easy Overnight French Toast image

This is a super-easy version of French toast that I like because it can be prepared in advance and then popped into the oven the next morning. It's great served with a mixed fruit salad on the side( which also can be prepared ahead!). Originally from the Houston Chronicle food section.Prep time does not include overnight refrigeration.

  • If you want a sweeter French toast, you can add 1/4 cup of sugar to the custard mixture.
  • You can also add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or vanilla extract to the custard mixture for extra flavor.
