French Toast has always been my favorite breakfast meal. There’s nothing better than thick, fluffy french toast in the morning. Bread soaked in eggs, milk, and cinnamon. You can’t get much better than that. Learn how to make this delicious french toast with a secret that takes it to another level!



The secret is….baking it overnight.

This seems very time consuming, but trust me, it will taste 100x better.
