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.
