Kneaders French Toast

I first had this at my brothers farewell. My mom made this for 100+ people. It is delicious. She is amazing the amounts of people that she feeds and the food is always wonderful. It really was one of the best farewell brunches I have ever been to and this was the highlight of the menu. It is so good. This is a recipe from Kneaders Bakery and you have to use their bread or it doesn't taste quite the same.
