TITLE
"Baked French Toast with Raspberry Preserves and Toasted Almonds"

Serves 10 ---
easy
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.
