Baked French Toast

I found this recipe at allrecipes.com. and we were pleased with it.
(Although I changed the recipe a bit. I used  used 3/4 cup skim milk and 3/4 cup half and half cream. I also simply did not add the 3 tablespoons of light corn syrup).

What I like about this recipes is that I can prepare it at night, wake up the next day, put it in the oven and have a hot breakfast ready for my children.
