If you’re looking for a really easy breakfast to serve for company you’re having, I have to highly recommend this overnight French toast that I made for Christmas Eve breakfast this year. It was really easy to make and all I had to buy in preparation was white bread, I have everything else all the time at home. It takes just 5 minutes to put together the night before, and 45 minutes to bake in the morning.
You will need:
- 12 slices white bread
- 2/3 – 1 cup (to taste) brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 5 eggs
- 1½ cups milk
- 1 tsp vanilla

This is quite nice and sweet but feel free to drizzle some pancake or maple syrup on top to serve. I hope you enjoy this recipe, let me know if you do!
