This is a recipe I normally make when I have overnight guests, or invite friends over for brunch. But lately, I find myself making this often for myself and my family just randomly, because we all love eating it!
I first started making these baked french toast a couple of years ago. The original recipe was adapted from Pioneer Woman, which was delicious to begin with, but few tweeks have made it even better in my opinion! It can be assembled the night before and then thrown in the oven the morning of. But if using Hawaiian rolls, it can be baked right away.
The sweet softness of the bread, topped with a tiny bit of crunch satisfies everyones appetite. This dish is usually the first one to go when I make it for guests!
