Baking french toast? It can be helpful if you’d be blessed by more passive prepartion! Lots of servings are ready fast, without having to be 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 also 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.
