This is the best french toast I have ever eaten. You make it at night before going to bed, the next morning; pop it in the oven.

Steps:

- Bake at 325 degrees for 30 � 45 minutes. Invert on to serving platter or another baking dish. Enjoy!
- ***I add cinnamon to taste. I use between a teaspoon & a tablespoon for the whole recipe. I don�t measure, just shake. I also cut French bread slices in half and put cut side down. You can also serve this with whipped cream & strawberries. I prefer warm syrup. I like to invert onto something I can put into the oven to help everything to �set-up� better & keep it warm so I can get everything else done.
