Needed casserole recipes for a Dr's Day brunch at our hospital. Found this & thought it sounded good. IT WAS A HIT! I have made it a couple of times and people always want to know the recipe. I plan on making it for our Women's breakfast at church some day.

This had a very good taste, but I did find it to be a little too soggy. Next time I think I will use stale bread and cut down on the liquid.

Thanks to all the advice from the past reviewers. I also cut the recipe to 6 eggs, 1 cup milk, and 1 cup 1/2 and 1/2. I warmed the cut french toast (1 1/2 inches thick) to remove the moisture prior to assembling the dish. I used a bigger dish -- didn't like the sound of it bubbling into the oven! I also included a teaspoon of nutmeg and cinnamon. After the ingredients soaked for several hours, I flipped the bread. The next day I baked for 20 minutes -- removed from the oven, turned the bread, and THEN added the butter/sugar mixture with chopped pecans and baked for another 20-25 minutes. Frankly, it didn't look like it was going to be good at all, but turned out delicious. It was not too soggy. I will bake this again, but think I can do without the topping -- too much sugar!

I did not enjoy this. My bread was soggy on the bottom from having soaked in the fridge for 8 hours, and the top was too crunchy and hard. Maybe I did something wrong, but I definitely don't think I'll be making this again.

Made this using a paesano crusty loaf (used 1/2 of it as I halved the recipe) and cubed it vs slicing it. I also cut back on the butter by 2 tbsp for the topping. Overall, fantastic taste. The next time, I may also use 1 less egg (3 vs 4 for 1/2). Definitely a great recipe and easy to prepare for company.

wow...this recipe is SO good. I have made it for my family twice now. Its a big hit. I made a few variations per other reviews-I dipped the bread into the mixture and then placed it into the buttered dish. I added pecans and it was delicious!

Very good. Took the recommendation from other posters and reduced the amount of eggs/milk. I made it for a brunch and everyone said they liked it.

I made this recipe over the weekend, and it was to DIE for!! I made it with some cinnamon swirl bread, which I cut to about 1 inch thick. I also took the recommendation of another reviewer and reduced the number of eggs and the amount of 1/2 and 1/2. I will make it again, for SURE!

This was really good. I made it for my birthday brunch, but didn't have time to make the syrup, so I just used maple syrup instead. Also, I turned the peices half way, and baked for a total of 40 minutes, and reduced the cream and eggs as recommended by some reviewers, and I can't imagine it would be better with more liquid. People raved about it. My only complaint is that I didn't make enough, and only had a bite or two left by the time I made my plate up! Several people asked for the recipe.

Terrible. Followed the recipe exactly, After baking 40 mins the frnch toast was soggy, like bread pudding. We even baked it for another hour, and it was still pudding. Had to throw the french toast away!

I soaked fresh French bread overnight and it didn't get soggy at all. In fact, I wish it had been absorbed more into the center of the bread. The taste is great - just the right creaminess. I used 1 cup milk, 3/4 cup half and half and 6 eggs. I didn't care for the butter and brown sugar mixture though. Next time, I'll just have it with good maple syrup. My husband really liked it.

i made this for my family one school day using day old french loaf of bread( well it was actually one week old) and i used suggestions from others about the (6)eggs and (1 cup)milk. And then i didn't have any cream so i use cool whip about a cup or so (i know it sounds wierd!) and i mixed it with an electric hand mixer and soaked it overnight(in the bread). When i took it out to bake in the morning it looked really weird and that worried me on how it would taste. Then when i went to make the syrup that goes on top i used about 1/2 cup of butter, and a cup of brown sugar and omitted light corn syrup (cuz i didn't have any). i was worried cuz i had changed so much of the recipe and i had remembered the reviews talking about how it was soggy but it came out fine, and i served it with powdered sugar and syrup. My little sisters loved it and my parents even loved it which says a lot! i will definitly make this recipe again!!!!

This was soooo good, it reminded us all of sticky buns. I was afraid of the bread getting soggy like some had said so I just poured the mixture on right before I put it in the oven and it turned out great!! It was so easy to do everything the night before and just dump all together the next morning. Thanks, I'll be making this again.

I used the suggestions of other reviewers, using less liquids, and also "toasted" the bread some in the oven before putting the liquid on it. This turned out amazing. I cooked it for a crowd for Easter breakfast. Will definitely make again!!

As suggested by someone else, I reduced number of eggs to 6 and milk to 1 cup, and the french toast was excellent! After the required time it looked as if it was not finished baking, but after letting it rest it settled down - almost tastes like a sticky bun. Company loved it for Easter brunch!
