Guava Bread Oven-Baked French Toast

After buying some Guava Bread from La Tour Bakehouse at the local farmers market, I decided it would be the perfect color for Valentine's Day French Toast!

The aroma was amazing, and the kids absolutely loved this special breakfast treat (since usually they just eat cereal or toast).

The best part is that you can prep it ahead of time, and in the morning you just bake it!

You can use any type of sliced bread, but the guava bread really adds a nice flavor (and color!).
