Our Test Kitchen staff came up with this moist French toast bake that’s a snap to assemble the night before and bake in the morning. While it’s pleasantly sweet as is, let guests drizzle raspberry syrup over the top for a finishing touch.

I cut down on the amount of milk and used more bread like the other readers recommended and its was great, definately a keeper. Had a little bit of a hard time getting out of the dish.

I served this to four friends today at a birthday breakfast, and they clamored for the recipe. Actually, although I had real maple syrup and raspberry syrup on the table, they liked it fine with no syrup because it is so moist.

I used some stale cinnamon rolls in this recipe and cut down a bit on the brown sugar - This is a wonderful recipe! I made one for work, which they finished, and came home and made another one for my hubby and me!

If the inside is soggy, the bread you are using was sliced thin...when that is the case use more bread. Very special breakfast===family loves. lol MAM

Excellent recipe. The first time I fixed this was at our family reunion campout. Everyone raved about it, & wanted the recipe.It was the first pan emptied. My daughter-in-law fell in love with it. Later she was asked to be over the menu for a large womens church function. She suggested this recipe and was asked to prepare it for sampling beforehand. It was a smash with them also. It became the main dish for this women's church brunch & again the recipe was in big demand. I read recently on this daughter-in-laws blog that this is her most favorite recipe, especially for special meals. Thanks Taste of Home for sharing this recipe with us! I prepare it with fresh raspberries, but my daughter-in-law uses frozen and it is just as yummy.

If you find your bread too soggy try not to use as much milk. I think that overnight recipes for baked french toast reminds me a little of bread pudding. I love bread pudding.
