Baked Hasselback French Toast
Love, love this french toast, it can be made ahead or ready in an hour. It is crispy on the edges and soft and creamy on the inside. This is so simple you are going to be wondering why haven’t I always baked it this way. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good french bread casserole but always missed the crispy edges you get when you make it on the stovetop. With this recipe you don’t have to miss a thing. It is the best of two worlds.
