Overnight Cinnamon-Vanilla French Toast

Start your weekend mornings with this simple, scrumptious French toast piled with fruit. Ready to sizzle in the skillet when you wake up!

First off, I’ve got to say a BIG thank you to everyone who said such nice things about my new design. If I could give you all big plates of fruity, whip creamy French toast I would! Your feedback helps me more than you know, and I appreciate it so much, so keep it comin’! :)

Now, onto the good stuff. I don’t know about you, but I’m a nut for French toast. And fruit. And breakfast in general. So, when McCormick contacted me about trying one of their recipes for a spring promotion, I was all up on this one. With a few little tweaks and a whole lot of homemade whipped cream, I had French toast perfection.

This overnight French toast is a scrumptious, easy make-ahead meal for the morning. Just combine eggs, milk, and McCormick’s deliciously fragrant vanilla and cinnamon. Nestle your bread slices in a deep pan and pour the mixture right over. In the morning, all you have to do is sizzle up the soaked bread and pile on the fresh fruit! …And powdered sugar, and whipped cream if you’re a glutton like me.

For Easter morning, or any weekend that needs something special, this French toast makes a delish addition to your breakfast or brunch. Treat your friends or family to a memorable morning meal with this recipe!
