Baked French Toast

I used 6 eggs, 1 1/2 cups of half and half and no milk, otherwise followed the recipe as directed. Best french toast casserole I’ve had! Not too soggy, good flavor. Will use maple syrup instead of corn syrup next time, to add a bit of maple flavor. What I made was great, but I feel like I changed the recipe too much for the recipe to deserve 5 stars

Excellent recipe. The only change I made was to spread mascarpone on each slice before arranging in pan.

I used a loaf of brioche and kept everything else the same. Knocked it out of the park! Baking the dish on top of a foil-covered pan is a good tip because it might bubble over.

only used 6 eggs, and followed reviews and flipped half way. Think if I had diced the bread it would have been even better. Turned out pretty good though, will make again.

Looks Delicious yum

I veganized it and used just egg and dairy creamer for the egg base. And I used earth balance butter and maple syrup to create the syrup to top it. We didn’t use nuts. But we did use some no dairy whip cream and it was fantastic! Also, I only used a half loaf of bread and dipped then soaked the slices and only let it marinate for about 2.5 hours before baking. I took it out a couple of times to rotate the bread to make sure it was evenly coated and soaking as well. *my son is allergic to eggs, nuts and milk but I love French Toast so we had to make it work!

I did like it however i thought it had too much liquid in it and i would definitely cut back

Delicious! I used 7 eggs and only 1 cup of milk. As others suggested, I flipped the pieces of bread after a few hours. I also added some fruit when I put it in the oven to bake. I cut the bread a little too thick and the center of the pieces were not quite soaked through.

We love this recipe!!! We make it every Christmas morning!!! Delicious!!

I love this recipe! I’ve been making it for about 10 years. It’s a tradition in my house to have it every Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. It’s so easy to make too! I do not add anything to the top after it’s baked. My kids don’t like nuts or fruits on it but I’m sure it would be delicious as well!

I followed it to a tee. Turned out nasty and soggy. Maybe the recipe should reflect some changes other people have suggested.

I’ve made this several time now and it’s always a hit. I put chopped pecans on half and it gives it a little extra pop! I do use less milk than stated.

Love this recipe. I do also include 2 less eggs, 1/2 cup milk instead of 1 cup, 2 cups half and half instead of 1 – 1/2 cups.

Yummy!! I used 6 eggs and 1 cup each of milk and half n half! It took closer to an hour to bake! Everyone loved it!

I’ve had a recipe similar to this my mom made for years. I looked up a recipe to make for my grandkids in Houston …. I found this and looked similar. It had more milk than my moms, and definitely needed to to baked partial time covered as to not get to dark and crispy. I too added cinnamon and used 1/2&1/2, I added 3 Tbl of 1/2&1/2 to the caramel mixture as well. Otherwise the family loved it!!

Horrible! This recipe is easy to make but not edible when it’s finished. It was soggy AND burned (how that’s possible, I’m not sure) I tried to salvage it by cooking it through on the stove top and what I got was a sticky, undercooked, burned-sugar, smoky mess. What a complete waste of time and energy! I would not recommend this, even with the fixes suggested in other reviews. I ended up making pancakes after spending at least 2 hours trying to make my family Sunday morning breakfast. I would recommend Eggo waffles over this recipe.

I’m giving 4 stars because I did follow a lot of suggestions of other reviewers, especially since many complained of sogginess. I used just 6 eggs, just 1 1/4 cups milk, just 2 Tbslp. corn syrup, increased cinnamon to 1/2 tsp. , and added 1/2 tsp. nutmeg. I also did turn the bread slices over after a couple hours per reviewers’ suggestion. I made 2 for a bridal shower. One as above and the other I added chopped pecans to the sauce before pouring over bread/egg mixture. The one with the pecans went first….bigger hit so I will likely always add the pecans. REALLY good!

Everybody always loves this French toast. I have made it exactly as the recipe calls… and I have made it and changed a few things …. and it always comes out delicious. I sometimes cover the top with blue berries…..I sometimes use maple syrup instead of corn syrup….This is always a hit!! I cover with foil for the first 20 minutes then uncover for the remaining 20. Love this Dish!

I’ve been making this recipe exactly how it says for years and I’m always asked for the recipe. I’ve used raisin bread or plain old white bread with the same delicious results. I’m begged to bring this to our annual pot luck brunch each year – I bring a full tray and it’s the 1st thing to go. Definitely a holiday staple!

I would not bake it as long as it recommends. French bread burns quickly. Or maybe bake at a lower temp.

So good!! I didn’t have half & half, heavy cream, or corn syrup, so I had to make mine without those ingredients. But the bake still came out super yummy!! All my kids loved it.
