BAKED CHALLAH FRENCH TOAST

Baked Challah French Toast image

French toast done a little differently. Today we are going to prep the night before and have it ready in the morning for French toast. This is a nice sweet American breakfast or French dessert during a get-together. Either way, kids love it. Serve warm with powdered sugar and maple syrup and a tall glass of orange juice and enjoy!
