Baked French Toast

I am looking for a french toast that can be made in advance and baked the next day.   The following recipes look promising.

Baked French Toast Wedges

4 whole english muffins cut into 1 inch cubes
3 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
1-2/3 cups half and half, whipping cream or whole milk
2 tbs butter melted
1/8 tsp nutmeg.

Spray a 10 inch quiche dish or deep dish pie pan with nonstick cooking spray.  Arrange muffins in a single layer in dish.   In a medium bowl, beat together eggs, cinnamon and sugar.  Stir in vanilla and salt, mix well.   Add half and half and melted butter, mixing well.  Pour evenly over muffins to moisten.   Sprinkle with nutmeg.

Cover and refrigerate overnight or bake immediately.

Bake in a 350 oven for 40-45 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.   Transfer to cooling rack at least 10 minutes before serving.   Cut into wedges and serve warm with desired fruit topping or heated maple syrup.
