Easy French Toast Bake

Sydney, aged 3, enjoying her baked french toast with yogurt on the side

Mornings are almost always stressful at our house.  If the kids sleep until 6am, we consider ourselves lucky.  I love french toast and pancakes, but just don't have the time (or energy) to stand over the stove in the morning.  Breakfast usually needs to be on the table 5 minutes ago.  I love a dish that I can make ahead, or at least prepare and then pop in the oven in the morning. The preparation on this one is fast.   Another plus: my daughter is allergic to scrambled eggs, but tolerates baked eggs, so both girls can enjoy this dish.
