    Instructions

    • Sprinkle crumbly mixture evenly over the bread mixture.
    • Bake at 350 for 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on how soft you like your French toast. I baked mine for 50 minutes an it was awesome. Great the next day as well!

    Notes

    HOW TO FREEZE: Wrap dish with plastic wrap then foil. It can keep for up to 2 months in the freezer. When you’re ready to eat thaw overnight in the fridge, remove all the wrapping and bake.
