Blue Ribbon Recipe

This overnight cinnamon raisin French toast can easily be breakfast or dessert! Rich and sweet, this breakfast casserole has a custard texture and is filled with cinnamon flavor. Once baked, the top becomes slightly caramelized, and adds a little crunch. Easy to make, leftovers will keep in the fridge for a few days. Just heat a slice in the microwave for about 30 seconds and enjoy.
