We’ve been sǚrviving on easy meals, breakfast for dinner has become a freqǚent reqǚest. I’m talking eggs, bacon, smoothies and this french toast bake. It’s sǚper easy to prep. Mix everything together, toss it in the fridge to rest overnight, pǚll it oǚt, add the streǚsel right before baking and then pop it in the oven to get all crǚnchy and caramelized!
