Woodland's Winter French Toast Casserole

I came up with this recipe with making regular french toast. i found that there was no nutmeg so i changed and experimented the first time it was just a little off cause i didn't find the "special ingredient". i am not someone who normally measures things out so it became hard for me to get right the first time. but at last i have. by the way the special ingredient is syrup added to the beaten egg mixture (i don't recommend forgetting this one!). i hope you enjoy. you can also use this in the regular french toast style.
