Add a few tablespoons of RumChata to give it an extra kick!  It's a lovely cream liqueur flavored with cinnamon and vanilla, perfect for this dessert French toast bake!

Use any bread you like!  We used French, but you could use sourdough, cinnamon swirl bread, challah, loaf bread of any kind or even some sandwich buns.

Swap in any non-dairy milk instead of the dairy milk, like almond milk or coconut milk.  

Use your favorite doughnuts or leftover cake instead of bread to take it to the next level!  Seriously insane!

Add some crispy, crumbled bacon or sausage and add it to the mix or add it on top or both.

Add some of your favorite fruit such as strawberries, blueberries or raspberries as a fresh fruit on top or add it to the mix as well.

Prep everything in 1o minutes or less and refrigerate overnight. 

Then assemble everything together in 2 minutes and just pop it in the oven in the morning. The fam will go crazy over this and you'll be happy you made it!  Plus, the aroma is intoxicating!
