Baked Raspberry French Toast
"I stumbled across this recipe several years ago when I was VERY single. It was in an article focussing on singles. It was suggested as a breakfast for "sleepovers". LOL Everything except the baking is done the day before. If you choose to make it for a crowd multiply the ingredients and bake it in a casserole dish. It's quite elegant and still is one of my favorites."

I like make-ahead breakfasts and this one is really tasty - I love the combination of flavors with maple and raspberry together. Great idea! Thanks for posting. Made for Fall PAC 2008.
