I made this the first time on Christmas morning, and the whole family decided it would be an annual keeper! Perfect for when you don't want to spend lots of time in the kitchen. Serve with butter and maple syrup.

The spices are wonderful and we thought just the right amount, though you might want to reduce the amounts if you don't like gingerbread spices.

You can use any type of molasses except blackstrap.

This was delightfully gingerbready! It was a beautiful color with a heavenly scent. I did wonder if I should have increased the egg mixture a bit but I decided it was worth taking apart my carefully arranged bread to be sure every slice had laid flat in the egg mixture and been flipped over once before arranging the bread again. There were a couple of pieces that had a touch of white left in the middle when we cut into them but not many. This was tasty and straightforward and is a breakfast worthy of serving overnight guests
