To make these delicious French toasts for breakfast, plan them the night before, as the bread needs to soak in the creamy egg mixture overnight. The best part is that you don't have to stand over the stove frying the toast in batches—they're made like a casserole. Slice a loaf of challah, arrange them in the bottom of a maple syrup-coated pan, pour the creamy mixture over them, and refrigerate. In the morning, all you have to do is pop the pan in the oven. By breakfast time, you'll have fluffy, tender, and flavorful maple-syrup-drenched French toast.
