Introduction

This is a recipe that you prepare the night before serving.

Someone at work brought in their french toast casserole and it was to die for! I only had two bites though, after he told me how much butter and sugar was in it. Soooo disappointing...so I tried my own slimmed down version. It's still not the best for you, but I made it for a large group staying for the holidays and was able to have a normal sized serving without having to explain why I was eating such a small portion. It was delish!

Great with a side of turkey or light breakfast sausage if you can afford the extra calories. This is a recipe that you prepare the night before serving.
