Because You Want to Make Eggnog French Toast Bake

My office seems to have a potluck every other week and when they wanted to do one to celebrate the Holidays I though - breakfast!  Yep, a breakfast potluck!

To be perfectly honest, it is the Husband's thing at work but I wasn't going to tell them that.  He has trained every few months and on the last day, the guys do a breakfast potluck.  His go to is a breakfast pizza but I wanted to do something easier.  Of course, I hit up Pinterest but really could not find anything I wanted to do that would be easy.

The weekend before the kids wanted french toast but I was out of bread.  I did have Hawaiian sweet rolls so I made french toast with them.  They were a big hit and an idea was born...  what if I used the whole package and baked them!

The night before the potluck I started to make the batter so it could marinate overnight and of course, I was out of milk (I really need to shop better). I did have eggnog (go figure)!  I was also out of vanilla but I had caramel sauce so in it went.  Mixed it all together, covered it with foil and put it in the fridge overnight.

In the morning, I baked it and prayed it would taste alright.  I made a second one for home and I am so glad I did because it was so seriously yummy I made it again for Christmas morning.  I have yet to be able to get a picture of it whole but you can see it has been enjoyed.
