How To make Overnight French Toast?

With just a little bit of preparation the night before you and your guests will enjoy this delicious breakfast the next morning.

  • Start by mixing together your eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla.
  • Use a thick bread such as French bread or sour dough, about 3/4 ” thick.
  • Place your slices of bread on a 10 x 15 baking sheet (that has sides on it)
  • Slowly pour the batter over the bread.  Turn the bread so that it is coated on both sides.
