Overnight French Toast is a baked custard-style dish made by soaking thick slices of French bread overnight in a cinnamon-vanilla egg and milk mixture. A topping of brown sugar caramelizes during baking, creating a soft, sweet, and warmly spiced breakfast or brunch option that can be prepared ahead.
