My family really enjoyed this. (In fact dh took leftovers to work for supper.) It was a little "toasty" on top and soggy on the bottom after baking. I inverted it to serve so the "carmel" was on top and dripped down to the toasty layer. Between that and cutting it up to eat, it wasn't too mushy. It's very easy to make and the ingredients are things I had on hand. I'll definitely make it again! (may add fruit next time too!)

Very tasty! I like to serve this with the bottom flipped up on top, because the bottom with all of the caramel looks so yummy! This heats up well in the microwave also.

This was my first attempt at any kind of overnight brunch dish & it was fantastic. So easy! I used Texas Toast and it wasn't soggy. Best when served while still hot.

Okay - not that I shouldn't have known from the ingredients... but this weas like eating a CANDY BAR for breakfast. I only had one piece and I seriously feel the need to drink a lot of water to try to counteract all the SUGAR first thing in the morning. I used regular bread since that's what I had on hand and it was soggy... eeeeewwwww! So after baking it for 45 minutes I then put it in a pan and fried it (no more butter, just sprayed the pan) and it gave it a nice crispy kind of texture. It was just not the greatest thing for breakfast... for sure the sugar on top is overkill - if you wanted to make this I would suggested leaving out the sprinkled sugar and just doing cinnamon. And then just eat VEGETABLES the rest of the day.

We wanted caramel apple french toast, so I used this recipe and added a can of apple pie filling on top of the caramel sauce. The caramel flavor was masked a bit by the apples. It was enjoyed thoroughly by adults and slightly less by the children (ages 6 & 9).

I made two batches for Christmas brunch last year and every bit of it was gone!! The entire family loved it! The only change i made was i used Texas Toast instead of regular sandwich bread because i tend to like my french toast thick and it turned out perfect!!!!

I really liked this recipe, but I added another layer of bread and two more eggs to make it thicker. I also add 1/4t of nutmeg with the cinnamon/sugar mix. You do need to cook it longer but it taste great. We serve this dish once a month for a breakfast at work and people love it.

This really did have good flavor, but was too soggy. Good flavor, horrible texture. I will try it again, probably using a thick, dry bread, and maybe cooking it a tad longer to make sure it isn't so runny. With a few changes, it could be a 5 star rating as the flavor was great, texture was off.

I thought this was an easy, great recipe! I would use a thicker bread next time, but it was still delicious. I topped mine with butter crunch cashews for a little crunch!

I'm so happy that this dish was recommended over another one I was considering. This was an amazingly delicious addition to my daughter's birthday brunch. This is not healthy but any means but it is awesome! Everyone at the party said after the first bite, "This is great! Where can I get the recipe?" I think this will definately be a repeated breakfast dish in our house now. Will probably turn up in the oven this Christmas!

Perfect for any get together. I bring it with me, when we stay at my in-laws. Make it before we leave and bake it in the morning... Perfect!

This is very good, thank you. I did modify a few things bc I really don't like soggy french toast at all. And I'm not a big sweets person. I used thickly sliced beer bread that I made. Since beer bread is generally dry, I figured it would keep the bread from being too soggy. I did the caramel bottom but topped the layers with cinammon only and omitted the sugar. I halved the recipe itself but halved the egg mixture again. I don't think halving the egg mixture was necessary, although if I make it again I will eliminate the top layer of bread, and in that case halve the egg mixture. It turned out a bit dry on the top layer, actually, bc of my modifications, so I don't think there is too much egg. I'm just not a fan of having two layers of bread. It turned out somewhat sweet but not too sweet for me, and I like the caramel layer a lot. Thanks!
