Cinnamon Swirl Baked French Toast
This oven-baked French toast couldn’t be any easier. This dish is best made the night before, so the bread soaks up all of the half and half mixture. We love that it’s so customizable. Instead of dried cranberries, try blueberries or your favorite berries. Perfect for entertaining, whip it up the night before, then just pop into the oven in the morning and you have brunch or breakfast for a crowd. Butter, maple syrup or a touch of whipped cream are the perfect finishi
