This Overnight Oven-Baked French Toast is the perfect breakfast dish for lazy Sunday mornings or special occasions. It is easy to prepare and has a sweet, mouth-watering flavor that everyone will enjoy.

The golden brown, crispy exterior adds an extra layer of texture that makes this dish truly irresistible.

2.	In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt.
3.	Pour the mixture evenly over the bread slices in the baking dish.
4.	Cover and refrigerate the dish overnight.
5.	The next morning, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and bake the French toast for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
