"This is so easy. Prepare it the night before and store in the frig. The next morning pop it in the oven and bake. I serve it with butter and hot maple syrup. Everyone loves this. Leftovers warm up nicely in the microwave oven."

I think I oops-ed because I used Texas Toast instead of French Bread and it came out a little too wet for my tastes but was very good. Thanks so much for the recipe.
