Breakfast casseroles make breakfast time so easy. I love pulling this baked french toast out of the oven and letting everyone serve themselves. This is perfect for weekend breakfasts or Easter breakfast or brunch.

    What a fun idea! We make Robbie French toast on occasion (it's the only way he'll eat eggs...ugh, kids). But I've never tried French toast in a casserole form. I totally want to make this! You're right that this would be perfect for Easter brunch. And I love all of those berries in there, too!
