Make-Ahead French Toast

We are always on the look out for awesome recipes to share with our friends.

We found this Make-Ahead French Toast recipe on Grandparents.com and boy is it delicious!! This is just perfect to make for Christmas morning as most everything is done the night before so you don’t have to give up too much of your “family” time slaving away in the kitchen. It also works well for a nice Sunday morning breakfast.

 

We hope you enjoy this yummy French Toast and will share your thoughts with us.

 

Make it a great day, you deserve it!
