Cardamom French Toast Casserole Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Breakfast Casserole Recipes. (Cardamom French Toast Casserole Recipe). I love cardamom, and I thought I'd play with recipes featuring it. I came up with this one after having made cardamom braids, a Norwegian sweet bread. Cardamom braids are the best for this, but French bread or Italian bread will work, too.
