Eggcelent! Just make sure all the bread is evenly soaked in mixture. If some is more soaked it will come out soggy, if not soaked will come out dry & hard. So so good. Cooked in 7x11 glass dish for 50mins @350

I agree with another reviewer about the ratings. Please only rate the recipe as it is written. It is not an accurate rating system if you are rating the recipe based on changes you've made. It then becomes a different recipe and your rating only refers to your personal "new recipe". This recipe, as written, came out wonderful. It is sweet to begin with so keep that in mind if topping it with fruit or whipped cream. We did strawberries and whipped cream and it was way too sweet but on it's own, it tastes very good. A great recipe for the person who desires french toast but doesn't feel like standing at the stove turning the pieces. I'm hoping to try this as an overnight recipe soon. Thank you for the recipe!

This gets four and a half stars for taste and 5+ for ease of preparation! If you like to make breakfast or you are having company, you must try this recipe. There is plenty of leeway for alterations to taste. I used mango jam and a dash of crushed cardamom on mine. It's an excellent base recipe. My houseguests loved it. I can't stress how easy this is to prepare. I used Egg Beaters (the kind with "yolks") and day old French bread off the sale rack. I made it the night before and I swear, it took six minutes to prepare. DO leave it in the full 50-60 minutes. If it's getting too brown on top before the time is up, put some aluminum foil on it and stick it back in the oven- it'll be fine. I can't wait to try this a hundred different ways. Thanks for sharing!

This was okay however my husband put it in a 9 x 13 dish so was very thin and a bit dry. Will try again making sure the recipe is followed exactly.

Why didn't I think of this years ago?! French toast without the one-by-one wait. Now the cook gets to eat it hot too! Love this.

This is a great way to make french toast for a group. The crispy sugary surface was just delightful.

This was really yummy!! The only thing we changed was slicing french bread about one inch thick, and placing the slices in a 9x13 pan. Everything else remained the same. Loved it, and it was sweet enough that we didn't use syrup. A keeper!!

This was an easy alternative to the traditional egg and sausage breakfast casserole. I found this recipe when I was looking for a way to use a stale baguette loaf. Hungry teenagers devoured the whole casserole this morning at church-

Fantastic and super easy! Rather than bread, I had 4 hamburg buns that needed to get used and it was delicious. Thanks so much for sharing!

This was good. I think that next time I will add some cinnamon to the custard mixture and bread. Mine was a bit soggy and it did deflate after I took it out of the oven, but other than that it was wonderful. Next time, however, I will use Challah bread instead of sandwich bread(I was looking for something different to have for brinner and I used what I hand handy). I will add this to my rotation!!

I added a peeled chopped apple to the bread and some chopped pecans to the cinnamon sugar topping. They were both good additions. The casserole makes a tasty breakfast dish.

A fantastically easy and tasty recipe. One in which you can sub english muffins or other styles of bread in and can also mix up and refrigerate the night before.

This recipe is unique and amazing. I made it for myself and 4 children and they had seconds and thirds of it. Follow the recipe as it says and even top your helping with fruit, chocolate chips, or cool whip!

Family loved it! I used a whole, 16 oz, loaf of cinnamon swirl bread, so I increased the amounts of the milk to 2 cups and the eggs to 5, it came out great.

Very good..first time ever making anything like this and it was great the next day too. I added blueberries(not too many) and that really made it good. As for changing the recipe, i like when people put their changes but can also agree with some and say it can get a little confusing. A few are OK but if it becomes a laundry list just make your own recipe.
