This oven-baked French toast is ideal for entertaining because you can make it ahead to feed a breakfast or brunch crowd. Equally importantly, it boasts ALL the cozy vibes: cinnamon, brown sugar, and a yummy glaze. You’ll soak fluffy brioche buns in a creamy mix of whisked eggs and milk, tuck into a baking dish, dollop with sweet berry compote, and bake until golden and custardy. Before you dig in, drizzle each serving generously with a rich crème fraîche glaze—it’s a berry delicious idea for your next gathering (or a special brekkie just for two with loads of leftovers!).
