I love cinnamon swirl bread, so to use that for this recipe was great! I was concerned because the top layer of bread wasn't down in the cream to soak up much of it; but when it cooked, the top layer was crispy and the bottom layer was more moist. When you eat both layers together it was perfect. Added a little warmed maple syrup and it was perfect for our 'breakfast for dinner' night. Made for Spring PAC 2013. -
A very nice treat for a Sunday morning! I used cinnamon raisin bread and skim milk instead of the cream. The french toast was crispy on the edges and smooth and creamy in the middle. Warmed maple syrup in the microwave and topped with a pat of butter before serving. Wonderful! Made and reviewed for my adopted baby Legna and Pick A Chef 2012. -
Great breakfast on holiday mornings...my recipe calls for "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" and probably saves some fat grams. Delicious either way. I'd misplaced my copy. Thanks for sharing, Legna.

<p>I am a stay-at-home mom to a very active toddler and a 1st grader. <br />My husband & I love to cook & eat at home. <br />My favorite cookbooks are church cookbooks. They have more recipes that my family & I will actually eat. <br />My husband & I both lost quite a bit of weight before we dated & since then, have changed the way we cook/eat. We substitute all ground hamburger in the recipes we use to ground turkey. We love the taste, it's not as filling & cheaper than ground beef. We also cook a lot with chicken & try to stay away from a lot of beef. <br />I also made all of my baby food & have posted some of the recipes that I used. My girls are both picky eaters. However, they loves veggies and fruit and could eat it all day! <br />I absolutely love this web-site and turn to it often for new recipes, I'm always on the lookout for a new recipe. My family doesn't seem to mind:).</p>
