About

This is definitely a breakfast fit for company! Conveniently, it’s best when made the night before, so the bread can soak up the liquid. You might be tempted to lift away the individual bread slices when serving, but it’s easier to cut it into squares. Make sure your platter has sides so the syrupy liquid stays contained.
