Like the other reviewer, I didn't make this in advance. I wanted "breakfast for dinner" so it only sat for 15 min at the most. But half the bread that I used was from old burger buns which would have disintigrated if left much longer. My other subsitution was to use vanilla soy milk (omitting the vanilla) for allergy reasons-- greatly helped with the calories as well!<br/>I wish there was another way to give the amount of bread. Perhaps the amount in cups after being torn? French bread comes in many sizes so slices isn't very helpful. I tore them into the baking dish until it looked right...not sure if I got the proportions correct. I liked the spices in the dish but found it TOO sweet. The soymilk may have contributed a little to that. Next time I will half the sugar. (I DO want to make it again! Maybe to take to MOPS next time I am on for a breakfast dish).
