This baked french toast recipe is always a big hit at our brunch parties. It's essentially a rich bread pudding with citrus syrup that you can make the night before, and bake the morning of. I make it with Challah, since we don't have egg bread, usually cut back on the cream a bit, and up the citrus to sugar ratio on the syrup. But, I suggest trying the recipe as is, because it is really good as-is.
The recipe is on epicurious.com. Link here.
I served this yesterday at the mother's day brunch I hosted at our house, with both grandmothers, an auntie and me (yeay, I am finally a mom!) I snapped this quick picture along with a few others to share (The recipe really is this gorgeous!). Hope to post the images of some of the other courses. It was a fun afternoon.

Mmmm...looks yummy. Sorry I didn't get to eat some myself. Perhaps I'll try the recipe!

The recipe is definitely worth a try..."Rated EE" as my friend Lauren's mom used to say...easy and excellent!
