Cardamom-cinnamon Baked French Toast
A family favorite, especially my sister, Aria ❤️, and especially every Easter. My son doesn’t even like eggs, but he loves this. Soak the baguette slices overnight, then top with brown sugar, cardamom and butter in the morning, and bake! Serve with a side of fresh berries.
