French Toast Bake

There is nothing better than a breakfast dish that can be eaten in the morning at the kitchen table or late at night, huddled up on the sofa. Its just that versatile. Enjoy it at breakfast with a plate of fluffy yellow buttery eggs or as a dessert topped with vanilla bean ice cream, drizzled with caramel sauce or a decadent fruit sauce.

This is an anytime meal and it's very easy to make and clean up. Everyone will enjoy it and praise your skills as the best chef ever. Lol.
