Baked Caramel French Toast

Submitted by Marie

"Make this casserole the night before and just pop it in the oven for your breakfast or brunch. When turned over and out of pan, a caramel layer will have formed. Delicious!"

Boiy is this ever YUMMY. I made it for company and used Texas Toast. It turned out perfect. Only one slice was needed for each of us girls, DH had 2 or 3. Very rich, could pass for dessert but what a treat in the Am w/ a good cuppa joe!

This was amazing. I added 1/2 cup of pecans to the caramel mixture, it tasted just like pecan pie...yummy! I agree with other reviewers and next time I won't make it the night before, I'll just soak the bread in the egg mixture in the morning for a little while before popping it in the oven. Thanks for a delicious recipe!

This was great! Really delicious. A very special father's day breakfast. Made is think of cinnamon buns. I added walnuts with the caramel, and cloves and ginger to the egg batter. I pulled it out of the oven 10 minutes early so we had caramel sauce instead of baked caramel. It is a very heavy dish, though. I'd pair it with something like fruit salad, not eggs and bacon.

It was ok. The sauce is great when you first start eating it, but then it just kind of sits in your stomach. I had two slices.

What a wonderful treat this was for breakfast! Like others, I made this in the AM and just let it sit for about 20 minutes before putting it in the oven. I added cinnamon and vanilla to both the caramel layer and the custard mixture, and added about a half cup brown sugar to the custard as well. My family gobbled it up, and made me promise to make it again--SOON!
