Christmas morning is a busy time. Dinner needs to go into the oven, kids are begging to open their gifts and everyone is starving. Instead of trying to do it all and make pancakes too, try this Cranberry Bliss Overnight French Toast bake.

You put together the ingredients the night before, pop it into the fridge and then bake it the next morning. Easy peasy and it’s a delicious and special brunch treat.

Ready to make the French Toast Bake

As with any French Toast recipe, eggs are an integral part of the recipe. For this recipe, I used eggs in a carton. They are real eggs and they take up less room in the fridge! Make sure you grab liquid eggs and not one with extra flavours….egg yolks and egg whites with no additional ingredients. They are also pasteurized so that you can make cookies with them and eat ALL THE DOUGH….but that is another post for another day.

Pour on the egg mixture

I also like using carton eggs because I can keep a carton in the freezer for up to 3 months and they are ready whenever I need them. No worries about not having quite enough eggs for the recipe I want to make. Plus it is perfect for the cottage because the store is 20 minutes away instead of right around the corner.

This recipe is great for people who don’t like recipes that are super sweet. The tart of the cranberries is the perfect foil for the sweetness of the French toast. Delicious!
