Expert Tips

Warm maple syrup goes well over this baked French toast, too.

One-half cup of chopped nuts, chocolate chips or raisins make a great add in.

Crunchy, warm and good! Eliminates the grease of frying french toast. We were impressed by its crunchiness and French toast flavor. Easy to prepare the night before while you are cleaning up the kitchen after dinner.

I made this for Easter morning - actually made it the night before and it was ready in a flash before church on Sunday. I didn't put the butter on after baking it and no one seemed to miss it. It was good and fast and I would make it again. I might try to experiment without the corn syrup - has anyone tried it without? I'm curious how it would turn out.

Wow, a lot of people get offended easy. I thought everyone was pretty civil. I for one would like both good and bad reviews so I can make an educated decision. I also found that I agree with Eats40 and Jomro completely on this recipe - it was not good! But, I cant stand bread pudding either and that is what this is just like. So if you don't like bread pudding - stay away from this!

This sounds delicious and would be great to serve to guest. My hubby and I both would love it unfortunately I am diabetic therefore I won't be making it. I agree with some of the postings on here if you don't like sweets this is definitely the wrong site to come on. I come on here to see the new as well as the old recipes. There are some that can actually be convert over to something I can have. Why come on here just to complain I'm there is other sites that have something to suit you.

Absolutely DELISH! I have made this four times and each time it got rave reviews. They actually beg e on my job to bring it in every weekend. I did do just one minor change because to me it does have a little of an eggy taste (but truly it is still DELISH as is) I cut out two egg yolks and added some coconut flakes and coconut milk just a teaspoon so I removed one teaspoon from the half and half. What can I say I am a big coconut fan, I add it to a lot go my recipes. Great recipe, like French toast and bread pudding rolled up in one. One last note serve it with a raspberry syrup. Mmmmmmmmm mmm
