French toast is fabulous, but standing in front of a skillet for a half hour making 10 pieces of French toast is not a treat for anyone, especially a mom on Mother’s Day! That’s why I love this recipe: You (or your minions) can prep it in five minutes and pop it in the oven. If you can't find brioche, a soft challah bread works, too. —Karen Nochimowski, Deerfield, Illinois
