Baked French Toast with Raspberry Preserves and Toasted Almonds
"As the coffee brews and the bacon sizzles, this French toast bakes peacefully in the oven. Moreover, it can be assembled the night before you plan to serve it. And, you may use any jam or preserves you like. Apricot preserves or marmalade make delicious alternatives to the raspberry preserves...."
