Better than plain French toast – easier too! Would also be good made with raisin bread.

    I printed out this recipe out on 12/21/2005 and have been making every Christmas morning for 20 years. I assemble it on Christmas eve and leave it in the fridge. The next morning, I get it in the oven when everyone wakes up. By the time presents are opened, it is ready and the house smells heavenly. I make it exactly as the recipe states. I sometimes give the recipe to friends who try to modify it by adding cinnamon, extra apples or by pouring syrup over it before serving(then they complain it does not turn out correctly). Just leave it alone and make it the right way. It’s amazing and perfect as is. It is the best recipe and we thank you for the family tradition.
