Nice recipe- but i'd make some changes if i made it again. For one, I cut my french bread into six slices- but it should've been eight. Also, i used about 2 teaspoons of grand marnier but still couldn't taste it. I'd use at least a tablespoon. Finally, i think it could use just a little spice- maybe some nutmeg or cloves?

Wonderfully decadent! I am often asked to make this for brunch with friends...not an every week meal but definitely worth the calorie splurge!

This wasn't very tasty by itself; we ended up putting a bit of syrup on it. It's already sweet enough without the syrup, but the taste of it wasn't right without some of it on top. My husband told me not to make this again, but I'd like to mess around with it and tweak it. I more than likely won't make it again, sadly.

This french toast is fabulous, not to mention, simple. This is the third time I've made this and I did make some changes. I used 8-2 inch thick slices of french bread, used 2 cups of half and half, and omitted the orange liquer because I did not have any. It turned out great and there were no leftovers. This is delicious served with sausage and fruit.

Wow, this is super sweet and delicious! I left some crust on the french bread and loved the crunchiness of it when the french toast came out of the oven. This is a great dish to serve for company.

This was wonderful! I subbed in maple syrup for the corn syrup and used 12 slices of white bread cut into cubes to soak up the custard mixture. My husband loved this and ate two huge helpings!

Delish....all that needs to be said. I brought this to an easter brunch and everybody asked for the recipe and it was gone in no time!! I did not have the option to use liqueur but I used pure orange extract and I enjoyed the flavor.

This is really a nice recipe. My husband even enjoys this dish! The only alteration I make is to use more slices of bread; six slices doesn't cover the dish so I use enough to cover the bottom.

This turned out really well. I followed the recipe exactly (except I filled the baking pan completely in one layer with the bread, not leaving any area uncovered). As written my family didn't find it too eggy and they are usually ones to voice their opinion when something is too much so. I personally did find it a bit too sweet and also with a bit too much butter, so I may cut back on the sugar and butter next time. Though it was very easy to make and everyone really enjoyed it as written. I used some hawaiian sweet bread since our grocery store didn't have any heavy french bread, only light fluffy french bread. I cut it and left it out for 6 hours or so on a cooling rack to dry out a bit. Turned out great. I do plan on making this recipe again in the future. This did serve 6 easily with some sausage on the side, 1/6 of the 9x13 pan was a large enough serving with it being so sweet. I imagine that 1/8 would be enough with some hashbrowns added or some fresh fruit.

This French Toast is delicious!!!! It's a breeze to make and such a treat. I have made it twice and both times stacked two pieces of stale white bread on top of each other to make it thicker, because I didn't have french bread. Other than not using french bread I follow the recipe exactly, and it turns out perfect every time.

My family loves Creme Brulee so I just had to try this recipe. I made it this morning for my out-of-town company and it was delicious!! I will definitely make it again. And probably for Christmas morning. I used Triple Sec which is a brand of orange liqueur and it was just as good. You have to let it sit overnight so that the egg soaks into the bread. I used 2 different kinds of french bread. The denser bread was better. Thanks for the recipe!!

This recipe is ideal just the way it is. If you are pressed for time, don't leave it in the fridge overnight, but you are missing much of what makes this recipe special. I did not have grand marnier but did have some orange juice and orange zest. was able to re-create the flavor with this. This is one of the best recipes I have found! Thanks!

I first made this recipe for Christmas brunch. It was a huge hit! I can't say enough about how easy and delicious this was. It only took about 10 minutes to prep, then refigerated overnight and popped in the oven in the morning. The "creme brulee" bottom makes this a fancy, almost gourmet dish. I didn't and wouldn't change a thing. I will continue making this over and over again.

IS there something i'm doing wrong? I made this as a dessert for Vday. I used 10 sliced of French bread and there was just way too much of the egg mixture. My bread just floated to the surface. Was my bread supposed to absorb all the egg stuff, because it did not and when I put it in the oven to bake it was this soggy mess. As someone once reviewed, this is bread pudding.I finally gave up after 35 min in the oven. I took it out and moved the soggy bread onto a baking sheet and baked it for 15 mins on 350. That was much better, i will try again but i will not bake it in the mixture. I will remove them and bake on a baking sheet. Sorry, I think the recipe instractions are all wrong. The taste is great though.
