Do you remember having sleepovers as a kid and getting SO EXCITED when French toast was on the menu in the morning? This recipe brings me back to so many good times so I wanted to create it with a healthy spin for my family.

It is also made as a casserole so that it’s super easy to prep and bake. Serve it for brunch and top it with a dollop of yogurt, fresh fruit and maple syrup. There won’t be a bite left over, guaranteed!
