This is one of the best baked brioche french toast dishes you will find. It is easy and can be made ahead of time so it is perfect for the busy holiday season. Whip up the French toast recipe, refrigerate overnight, and the next morning all you need to do is pop it in the oven.
This is a big crowd-pleaser, perfect for entertaining a group at Christmas. The Baileys whipped cream is our best-kept secret and once you try it you will want to try it on everything. We enjoy it in a baileys coffee or hot chocolate.
