awesome recipe!! i love baked french toast and this one is so great because it's stuffed with cheese and jam! the only changes i made were to cut back on the sugar to just a few tablespoons and to use raspberry jam and orange marmalade instead of strawberry. i topped the whole dish off with sliced almonds. everyone loved this! thanks for posting. this is a keeper!

This was delicious. I used normal bread that I toasted, because I didn't have any crossiants. I heated up some more of the strawberry jelly and poured over when it came out of the oven, dusted with some powder sugar. Thanks for the great recipe
