"Sounds impossible, doesn't it? I found this amazing recipe in Cooking Light Magazine a few years ago and have been making it ever since. This is great for entertaining at brunch, as all of the work is done the night before."

This tastes really good but hardly resembles french toast - the layers meld together completely. One of my guests commented that this was the best 'bread pudding he'd ever had.
