These are my two favorite parts of the day: breakfast and dessert and the recipe I found is Overnight Pumpkin Cheesecake French Toast.
I then adapted it to make an Overnight Strawberry Cheesecake French Toast as I thought the red in the strawberries would be prettier.
Many people have family and guests come in town and stay overnight for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and they would like to be able to give them a hot breakfast the next day.
However, they also have to prepare the main meal for later in the day.
Here is a perfect solution!
You can make this french toast casserole the night before and put it in your refrigerator.
The next morning, take it out and bake it, and voilà: you have a hot breakfast!
Because your family and guests have a full tummy, they will not keep bugging you to eat or asking, “When will dinner be ready?”

Here is the original recipe that called for pumpkin.
It would be perfect for Thanksgiving.
Pumpkin or Strawberry Cheesecake French Toast
[yumprint-recipe id=’21’]Since my kids don’t love pumpkin, I adapted it and put in strawberries.
It would look even prettier if I sprinkled fresh strawberries on the top and then had cool whip on the table for a topping.
Alas, most of my kids still didn’t care for it as they are the fussiest kids ever.
But my Sunday School class liked it and one lady took the rest home for her family. My kids’ loss is their gain!
Here is my adaption for Overnight Pumpkin or Strawberry Cheesecake French Toast. This would be perfect for Christmas.

The french toast looks delicious. We all LOVE french toast – this is a great change from the normal french toast.
It is different. My kids don’t like different yet, but maybe one day . . .
What a great twist to french toast. Looks so delish.
Thanks! It was a fun twist.
This looks like a delicious breakfast casserole. I love meals that can be made ahead.
Me too! Thanks for the kind words.
Printing both of these recipes off so I am prepared for Christmas!
I love breakfast casseroles.. they might take a little time to prepare the night before but you make up for it with extra quality time the next morning.
I agree! The next morning you are SO thankful! And we often eat a little later on holidays, so feeding the kids (and husband) in the morning keeps them from nagging!
