What’s now not to like? It’s golden buttery brioche bread that’s smothered in a creamy batter and crowned with a nutty candy cinnamony crunch! It’s significantly every body’s preferred brunch recipe and my family asks me to make it time and again. but the excellent component about is that it’s kinda lighter in fat and energy in comparison in your typical french toast.
One more element…the smooth component! The smooth component comes from the reality all of the ingredients are pretty wellknown staple ingredients and there’s no chilling required. not like a whole lot of french toast bake recipes that require chilling the french toast overnight to set the flavors, you could bake this right now without ready round for some thing. It makes for a fuss-unfastened breakfast that saves you from flipping every unmarried french toast at the griddle all morning.
