Baked French Toast

I made this for breakfast on Easter morning and we were definitely not disappointed!! I was worried about the overnight thing since when I usually make an overnight bread dish it usually turns out soggy and I can't stand the texture. They usually taste fine but the texture just gets to me. This recipe DID NOT do this at all - it was heavenly and I couldn't get enough!!! It was a great find and one that I plan on making again.
