Overnight French Toast is a delicious and easy breakfast dish that is perfect for weekends or special occasions when you have a little extra time to prepare. The bread is soaked in a rich custard mixture overnight, allowing the flavors to meld together and the bread to absorb the mixture fully. In the morning, all you need to do is pop the dish into the oven and bake until the top is golden and toasty. Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of syrup for an extra sweet treat.

1.	Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter.
2.	Cut the remaining butter into small pieces and dot them over the bottom of the dish.
3.	Cover bottom with 5 slices of bread.
4.	Beat together eggs, milk, sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl until smooth.
5.	Pour half of the egg mixture over the bread.
6.	Add another layer of bread and pour the remaining egg mixture on top.
7.	Cover the dish with foil and refrigerate overnight.
8.	Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
9.	Bake the dish covered for 30 minutes and then uncover and bake for another 30 minutes till the top of the bread toasts.
