Step 4: Add Remaining Mixture: Pour any leftover egg mixture evenly over the arranged buns.
Step 5: Cook the French Toast: Cover and cook on LOW for 5 hours or HIGH for 3 hours, until the buns are puffed, golden, and set in the middle.
Step 6: Serve: Dish out the warm French toast and top with butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
