Lemon icing:

Method

If baking day before: 

The night before, lightly grease baking dish.

Add the bread, stacking the pieces so they overlap a bit 

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.

Pour the mixture slowly over your bread slices in the pan, making sure each piece is completely coated.

Cover the pan with foil and place it in the refrigerator overnight.

When you’re ready to bake, preheat oven to 350F

Bake french toast for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
