Made this for my MIL when she stayed over. It was soooo easy and excellent!!! Just like a pineapple upside down cake. It would go great with sausage on the side of whipped cream on top too. I fogot to read the part about taking the crust off the bread but I really liked it on so I would not change my error the next time.

The whole family loved it. My boys called it a 10 out of 10. I followed the recipe except I left the crust on and I turned the bread half way through the cooking time. Also, before I baked it, I poured out the extra liquid on the bottom of the pan and drizzled it over the top of the bread.

We really loved this today for breakfast. I didn't love having to get up earlier than normal to make it, but unlike some others, you don't have to let it come to room temp before you bake it, which was nice. I used a from scratch French bread slice between and inch to an inch and a half thick. I LOVE the caramel sauce baked into this. You'd swear it was made with sweetened condensed milk or cream rather than a skim milk egg custard. I might gild the lily a bit with some pecans next time, but it's not necessary. This took about 40 minutes in my Airbake pan, and I turned once (carefully) halfway thru.

Talk about tasty! Couldn't stop eating these! I made them when I hosted some out-of-towners and they raved! I cut my bread about an inch and a half thick+ and if you do this, I suggest turning once halfway through to allow the bottom to get that irresistable crispy edge that melts in your mouth. OMG. Soooo good! No syrup needed--use the drippy goodness in the bottom of the pan! Thanks for sharing!

Made this for Christmas breakfast with my father in law in mind, since he has a sweet tooth. The entire family LOVED it! They said they felt like they were eating at a Bed and Breakfast! Will absolutely make this again. Thanks for sharing!
