We used this because I had my recipe packed away lol. It was tasteful but very soggy.

OMG good...but I made this every Sunday for a month since the family loved it so much & i think I gained 5 pounds! (worth it!) Anyhow, I prefer French bread & soak over night in egg/milk mix with cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla, I save the salt for adding to the caramel sauce to make it more of a sea salt caramel. (or toast your nuts with butter & salt to get that extra flavor) mmm...I add a touch of half & half to my caramel to keep it creamy and make sure I have enough for drizzling over at the finish. Putting the nuts on the pan with the caramel before baking is good & it is also great to just toss into the caramel & drizzle on after baking bread. THANK you for sharing, this will be a family favorite forever!

YUM! I have a 4 year old and a 4 month old so, the night before prep was key. My kitchen smells fantastic. I used a non fat milk and a honey oat (whole grain) bread. (I used a homemade butter butter to even the playing field) Next time I will add more pecans and possibly garnish with banana slices (only for personal preference) Great, simple;delicious recipe. Loved it.

I made a few modifications I was happy with. First of all, I couldn't wait 8 hrs to prepare the meal, so I dipped the bread in the egg mixture and heated it on the skillet. The caramel sauce: I added some water to dissolve the sugar first. Then I added the corn syrup and the butter. I was much happier with the texture of the caramel. Yummy!

Very Good but very rich. I will use less than half of the sauce this calls for next time. If you like it rich then leave it as it is.. very similar to sticky buns.

Since this sounded good but we don't like overly-sweet foods, we cut the caramel bottom by half. Also used cut up cubes from a 16oz French bread loaf. Added a couple more eggs and extra milk since the bread was quite dry and really soaked up the liquid (soaked for about an hour, not overnight). Sprinkled the top with cinnamon since we forgot the vanilla and seasonings when mixing the eggs and didn't make the additional caramel sauce topping. As we made it, the texture was good, it tasted like french toast (though not as browned as what you'd make on the stove top, and the caramel bottom (top if you flip it) took care of the need for any syrup. Tasty, and points for the ease and speed of making.

I made this as the recipe directed and while it was good, (the kids, especially, loved it) it wasn't great. It was too sweet, even for someone like me who has a major sweet tooth and a bit soggy. My husband suggested that we cut the egg mixture in half so it toasts better and then top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and then the caramel sauce. Mmmm...going to have to try that...

I'm quite surprised at all the good reviews on here. I made this for brunch, and wasn't too thrilled with it. Two of my kids liked it, two didn't, and hubby didn't. I used fresh Italian bread, followed the recipe and must say that it initially looked delicious. I served it, and was disappointed. The bread was mushy and looked like... well, let's just say it was mushy. The caramel on the bottom became hard as a rock within minutes of serving. As I was eating it, I was concerned about my dental work. We couldn't have seconds, as it was all just too hard. The taste was okay, certainly not worth making again. I was going to give this three stars, but hubby, who usually praises everything I make, whether good or bad, quietly said, "Two Stars". I took his advice.
