Overnight French Toast Bake – together, these are the four most delicious words!
We’re big time breakfast fans at our house, and this decadent overnight french toast bake is worth waking up for. It’s basically baked in it’s delicious syrup, so no extra syrup needed. The top is crusty, the middle is soft and moist, & the bottom is the best part! You can serve it upside down…and let the sweetness soak in from the top down. We made a quick video so you can see how easy it comes together. You’ll have to make it this weekend!
See all that syrupy goodness on the bottom?! It’s basically a butter brown sugar mixture that soaks into the bread.
Here’s a view of it served upside down. The butter brown sugar mixture on the bottom soaks in and it’s so good!
I can’t wait to make it again!
