Years ago we didn’t really have breakfast on Christmas morning. We would get up early with the kids and open presents but it would take forever because it would be the entire family and then we’d all fend for ourselves. Then I discovered baked french toast easy casserole recipes. It’s perfect for holiday mornings. They’re a make ahead breakfast that really impresses guests. There are just so many tasty versions and it’s so simple! Mix, cover, refrigerate and bake the next morning.
Now, when the kids get up we tell them to hang out in their rooms with their stockings while we make sure that Santa is gone. You don’t want to catch Santa and have him take back the presents because you weren’t asleep, right? So we head downstairs, set up the camera, make the coffee and pop the french toast into the oven. We settle in open some presents and close to the end the toast is ready and we have a tasty breakfast.
