This was a great recipe - my only issue was sticking to the pan and not having enough!!! I should have doubled the recipe. Everyone really liked the carmel taste but the extra sauce makes that happen....

great recipe. I use Pepperidge Farm Cinnamon Swirl bread and cut it up into small squares. Makes eating and serving much easier. I am now famous for this and requested by all my co-workers whenever we have a morning meeting (which is often!!)

My husband made this for Mother's Day Brunch. He left out the sauce and flipped the bake over (after cooking) so the pecans were on top. This reminded me of a sticky bun...very good. Tis was served with fresh fruit.

I just made this french toast for a mother's day brunch. I would give this 500 stars if I could. I took the advice of another review and used bakery fresh cinnamon raisin bread. The caramel sauce on top of this was perfect. Some of us even put a spoonful of whipped cream on top. My young daughters LOVED this. This one is a keeper!!

I made this for mother's day brunch. Everyone loved it, but here are my suggestions for others: Grease the baking dish. The bread stuck to the sides and was very hard to get out. I followed other's recommendations (doing only 1 layer and decreasing the egg/milk mixture) and found the bread was not soggy at all and could have in fact soaked up more eggs. I made the additional sauce and it was not too much, but I cut the bread thick so there was more to cover. Next time I will cut it thinner.

This was wonderful. My family cant get enough of it in the mornings

Ohhhh man... Wonderfully delicious! Due to DH preference, I nixed the nuts. Used stale Vienna bread. 5 Eggs / 1 Cup Milk. Also, added my trademark splash of Almond Extract. For the "Topping" bit of caramel sauce, I also added in a splash of heavy cream and vanilla. This will be a "Packer Sunday" brunch addition for sure!

YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make sure you pour most of the egg mixture on the outer edges of the bread pan, the mixture will drain to the middle as it sets. I baked it for a little longer than suggested to cook all the way through. It is delicious!

This was delicious!!! Instead of making the additional caramel sauce, I just turned each piece over on serving plates so that the bread with sauce was right side up.

Wow! Delicious for Easter brunch. The caramel was somewhat sticky when it cooled, but isn't that what makes it soooo good? :)

This is a tasty brunch french toast. I used bakery swirled cinnamon bread and decreased the number of egg yolks by 2. I baked for 40 minutes but would reduce that by another 5-10 minutes next time. I also used only one layer of bread and caramel/nut mixture (I halved the recipe). The caramel sauce is very tasty (and very sweet) I added 1/4 tsp. vanilla and a pinch of kosher salt to the sauce before drizzling over the toast. Will make this again.

Delicious!! I followed the recipe exactly except that I only baked for 40 minutes...next time I'll increase the time to 45 minutes. It's a keeper!!

I made this recipe for Christmas brunch. It was fantastic and MUCH better than the Baked French Toast recipe from this site. I will definitely make this again.

This was a really tasty recipe. I used homemade cinnamon swirl bread and definitely recommend it. I left out the chopped pecans and the extra caramel sauce; I think rather than have two layers of bread with extra caramel, just one layer of bread with half the milk/egg mixture would be much better. That's what I'll do next time, because the caramel baked into the bottom layer of bread was absolutely delicious.

I tried this as the recipe is written and with some of the adjustments. It just turned out soggy. I think it could be great if it was written with all of the changes, but currently just turns out to be sweet soggy egg bread. I won't try this again.

Made this when I got word that I needed to make brunch for 15 people. It was great! I cut french bread into bite size pieces and only did 1 layer. I also only used 5 eggs and 1 cup of milk (I don't like soggy french toast) It turned out great. The toast got nice and crispy, and with the carmel sauce poured over the top...YUM!
