  1. My boyfriend and friends LOVED this!!! It was a huge hit. It was so simple to make and was very filling. I even used low fat cream cheese and only 4 whole eggs and most of a small carton of egg whites. It was awesome. A bit rich and maybe only used on special occassions but it is awesome. Thanks so much!!
     
  2. Made this for Christmas morning, and it was a big hit! Real easy to prepare. I took the suggestions of the other reviewers and didn't add maple syrup, and I'll probably won't when I make this again.
     
  3. I made this recipe as per the instructions and I think that if/when I make this recipe again, I will definately leave out the maple syrup. It is VERY SWEET. Another change I might consider...althought the recipe does not say to, I might consider covering for at least half of the cooking time, mine came out VERY dark (not burnt) on the top.
     
  4. I made this with a loaf of challah bread that surprisingly was just not getting eaten in my house. I sliced in myself into the 18 slices you need for this dish, and dried them in the oven. The challah bread added a great touch to this recipe I think and also gave it a rustic look. The flavor was like creamy apple pie. I didn't even use the maple syrup that was suggested. I just sifted a little powdered sugar, and it was plenty sweet enough with that. The only problem with this is that it is very filling, and I could only eat a small portion. I also wasn't hungary for 6 hours after that. lol. All and all, this was a great recipe. Something that I will probably make again Christmas morning to start the day off right. Thank you for a great one!
