I finally tried the following recipe. I left the nuts out since Andrew doesn't like nuts. I thought it would be nice to have french toast without standing at the stove. Andrew liked them better than normal french toast; I should have turned them over half way through baking but they were fine.
Maybe I'll try the recipe again with homemade bread and fresh ground nutmeg some time next week although it dirtied more dishes than regular french toast; glad I have a dishwasher.

This sounds absolutely delicious! I may just have to try it sometime. I love any kind of French toast. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for dropping by. Glad you like the Easter eggs.
Sounds really good. I have a great overnight french toast recipe that I should send you...so yummy and easy...but lots of butter so not the healthiest choice! I haven't forgotten the pics...been busy with the bday parties here.
