French toast is currently one of my favorite things to make so tonight I tried yet another variation. This one is different from the traditional french toast since the bread is cut into cubes, layered with a sweet egg mixture, and then baked until toasty and tasty (similar to a bread pudding). If you want to make this yummy dish for a crowd, simply multiply the ingredients and use a bigger baking dish (4 people = approximately an 8x8 dish). It would be the perfect recipe to serve for a brunch.
