    Easy Strawberry French Toast Bake Ingrdients

     

    French toast is one of those divinely inspired meals that we just don’t get enough of.  So whoever came up with the ease and convenience of whipping it up as a simple casserole is a downright genius.  Plus, casserole-style makes adding fruit and other goodies to the mix a cinch!

     

    And that’s one thing I like about this recipe.  Depending on the season and preferences of your family, you can substitute the strawberries with your favorite fruit.  Bananas , peaches, or any sort of berries are sure fire winners.

    The same with the pecans!  Don’t like them?  Leave them out.  Or try walnuts or almonds.  This is one mix and match recipe that just keeps on giving.  Make it countless different ways to surprise your family, to fit what you have on hand or tailor it to fit just what your people like best.  French toast casserole is your new specialty!
