Baked French Toast

It's Annie Bananie's birthday week and I made her breakfast! Yay! 

Someone used to make me what I remember as a french toast casserole. It was kind of like a bread pudding. I asked for the recipe and tried my hand at it. The best part about this breakfast was that you make it the night before and then just pop it in the oven in the morning! And who can go wrong with bread and maple syrup?! Not me, thats for sure! 

When I make french toast, I usually use Challah bread because it is sweet and soft. I don't think it would work in this recipe, though because it would just get soggy. If you figure out how to make it happen, let me know please!
