COMPANY FRENCH TOAST EASY TO DO-AHEAD HOLIDAY BREAKFAST

Steps:

• Melt butter in a 9x12 glass casserole.
• Add brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir, covering bottom of pan (add more butter or sugar if necessary for a thick sauce).
• Place six slices of bread to cover bottom of pan.
• Add any 'dress up' additions you may want onto the top of each slice of bread. Some ideas may be a dollop of cream cheese, jam, banana slices, caramel covered pecans, cooked bacon or sausage, etc. Feel free to leave out the extras - I usually don't add anything.
• Top with remaining six slices of bread.
• Slice each 'sandwich' diagonally. This creates beautiful, triangular servings.
• Mix eggs, water, salt and pepper together in a bowl. You can also use milk instead of water. (At 9000ft elevation, I have found water works better when scrambling eggs. I don't know why that is.).
• Pour egg mixture over bread slices and cover dish with foil.
• Refrigerate overnight.
• In the morning, put cold pan into cold oven and turn the heat to 350. Bake about 35 minutes until eggs are set.
• To serve, loosen sides and separate each serving with spatula. Scoop each serving upside down onto plate. The brown sugar mixture becomes the top of the sandwich and runs down the sides.
