French toast is the quintessential Saturday morning brunch food. The recipe below cooks overnight in the slow cooker so you can wake up to a luxurious breakfast. In fact, this recipe makes the morning meal so easy to get on the table that it’s even perfect for busy weekday mornings.
Add some fruit to this to make it even more satisfying. Sliced bananas, peaches or blueberries all work well. You can use French bread or an egg bread such as challah or brioche. This is one of those meals that kids love every bit as much as parents.
