Baking french toast? So much easier! Lots of servings are read fast without having to be stuck at the stovetop. Put this in the oven and forget about it until the timer goes off and you’re ready to eat. This makes me feel like I’m having a little Christmas (morning), even in July. You can even make ahead and refrigerate overnight. Fresh fruit pretty much must happen with french toast for me. There’s lots of seasonal ways you could dress it up.
