Happy Hump Day! To celebrate what will hopefully be the end of this nippy weather, I give you my scrumptious baked french toast recipe. This recipe is 3 of my favorite things:

1) Easy

2) Healthy

3) Yumtown Central

I like to keep it simple (usually) and I have indulged in this dish for both breakfast and dinner. Feel free to change up the type of milk, spices and fruit you use…make it your own and get creative!

Ingredients:
