Slice French bread into 20 slices (about 1 inch slices). Arrange slices in a generously buttered 9x13 inch baking dish in 2 rows, overlapping the slices.

Pour mixture over the bread slices, making sure all are covered evenly with the milk-egg mixture. Spoon some of the mixture in between the slices. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
