Absolutely delicious! I was very nervous about making this because I wanted something special to serve to my son and daughter-in-law for brunch. Both of them attended Le Cordon Bleu culinary school in Paris and work as chefs. Well, we all loved this! I used a 2-day-old loaf of grocery store French bread and left on the crusts. I sliced it into about 1"-1 1/2" slices. I didn't get this made the night before because, quite frankly, I was exhausted from holiday activities that day. So, I mixed it up in the morning, soaking each slice of bread in the egg batter before cramming as many as I could into the 13 X 9 pan. I poured what was left of the batter over the slices, and let it all sit in the refrigerator for about an hour. Before baking, I sprinkled on a little cinnamon. I flipped the slices over to serve with the yummy caramel syrup on top. I thought this was perfect as written, but I may try some other reviewers suggestions in the future for variety, such as mixing chopped pecans in with the syrup mixture or using maple syrup instead of corn syrup. It was excellent served with sausage links and fresh fruit.
