Overnight French Toast #CanadianEggs

The holidays are fast approaching and there are many recipes to think of. I love a nice breakfast on Christmas morning or over the holidays but don’t want to be standing there forever making it. Overnight French Toast has been a favorite of ours for years and was originally shared from a friend of mine, Joan. It makes two big pans, enough to feed a crowd. So when cousins, aunts, uncles, sisters, brothers, children, grandparents or other relatives and friends are staying with you or pop over, you can wake up and feed a crowd. Eggs are such an easy way to stretch your holiday entertaining. The eggs that I buy are always fresh, high-quality and locally produced by Canadian egg farmers and easily obtained at my local store.

I adore this recipe as the bottom and sides are crispy and delicious while the middles are soft and eggy. The perfect french toast in my mind. Served with a big fresh fruit salad and maybe some ham or bacon you have a festive feast for everyone, young and old to love.

Eggs are so versatile and can be used in so many ways over the holidays! Think deviled eggs for appetizers, frittatas for a quick and delicious dinner, a gorgeous cheesecake for dessert. Visit Eggs.ca for loads of fantastic recipes to help you through the holidays. Connect on Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest too to follow along!! You will love all the Eggmazing goodness!!

Fresh and hot out of the oven, still bubbling away!! This recipe will save you loads of time and everyone will be thrilled to have a delicious hot breakfast or brunch!! Did you know that Holiday treats and meals made with Canadian eggs take on a special meaning. Under supply management, the eggs you buy at the store are among the best in the world for quality and freshness, and are locally produced. We are very blessed to have that so accessible to us.

Over the holidays our fridge is full of eggs, we buy them a minimum of 18 eggs at a time. With all the wonderful holiday baking that we share, eggs are in almost every cookie, brownie, square or cupcake. Eggs are essential for all your baking and cooking during Holiday season – from the meringue on your pie to the stuffing in your turkey. Every time you reach for eggs this holiday season you’re supporting Canadian farmers. That’s definitely something to celebrate!
