I was happy to find this...I was looking for a different French toast to make for my boys for breakfast....I was glad to find one that didn't have to sit overnight. This was so easy to make and it came together super quick. I did let my bread soak for almost 5 minutes...I was worried about it being soggy but it wasn't it was perfect and creamy. I am thinking this will be perfect on Christmas morning. Thank you Hennie!

Decided to try this for the family Christmas breakfast using 12 slices of sandwich bread in 13" x 9" pan. Added 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg in addition to the cinnamon. Followed the recommendations of other reviewers and only dipped the bread slices in the egg & milk mixture rather than soaking for 10 minutes. Sprinkled a little cinnamon sugar on the top layer. The consistency was perfect - melt in your mouth creamy & custard-like. It was a huge hit with children and adults. Had several requests for the recipe and was asked to make it again for the next family breakfast. Definitely a keeper!

This was very good. I used regular white and wheat bread instead of what it called for. I also did not soak it for 5 minutes. I dipped it in and then put it in the dish. I added 5 extra minutes to the time as well.

We had an impromptu sleepover last night for 4 12-year old girls on a snowy evening. I made this in the morning for them and my 9-year old son. It was very good, very rich. The only change I made was that I didn't have french bread on hand so made with raisin bread. It didn't get 5 stars because none of the 5 kids took seconds. They said it tasted like cinammon rolls. Served with fresh fruit and bacon.

Yum! I love it when I come to this site and find exactly what I'm looking for - french toast in the oven without soaking overnight. I used just 1 c of milk, a texture issue in our house :) Served with homemade applesauce.

VERY good! I read someone's recommendation to use sliced apples in the bottom as well, so I sliced some granny smith apples very thin and placed in the bottom of the baking dish along with the butter and brown sugar. This had a perfect texture - not to dry and not too soggy. There was enough sweetness that it didn't need any syrup, but I used a wee bit anyway. :-D I will be making this again and again, and I can't wait to have company over for breakfast so I can try this out on them!

SUPER TASTY! I have never seen my kids devour any breakfast food like they did this. I had to put it in two dishes, added nutmeg and baked for around 40minutes. I think I will use significantly less sugar next time as well as less butter. No need for any syrup. I did cook some pears and put those on top when serving. Plan on trying apples in the bottom of the pan too and using raisin bread.

This was a great recipe! I used white bread slices and didn't soak bread for 5 mins. Just about 10-20 seconds per side. I stacked slices on top of each other after dipping them in the egg mixture, about 3 slices high. I sprinkled cinnomon on top before baking. I did bake a little longer. My kids loved this and ate the whole dish!!
