This is very good and the topping is out of this world. You won't even need syrup. Since it is made the night before, it is a great recipe for guests.

Paul Deen did this exact recipe back in 2004. See the 2000 plus reviews. Very good but soooo rich. Top with a blueberry sause and you have a rich dessert.

I tried this recipe but did a little alterations. I used one loaf of cranberry walnut bread from Publix and one loaf of egg and raisin bread, coconut milk instead of plain milk. It came out great a little soggy need to adjust liquids more when changing out from the french bread. The topping is great and even fried some leftovers the next day which gave me the crispy texture I prefer. I liked the cranberry walnut the best!

I have made this casserole many times. I made it for friends and family and they all love it. The topping is very tasty. No need for syrup! I leave a few pieces plain for those that cann't eat the nuts. No one has disliked this french toast yet. I had to bake it a little longer than stated or it was a little too soggy. -
This was just okay for us. Dh and the kids liked it enough. Actually, dh loved it. It was a little strange texture-wise for me. Honestly, I'd have been happy just leaving off the topping and using syrup instead. I think it might have crisped up a little more. The crust edges were good. I even let it cook an extra 5 minutes, but it was still too mushy for me. The egg was fully cooked, so it wasn't that. It just was too mushy. I also wasn't crazy about the nutmeg addition. It would have been better with just the cinnamon, in my opinion.
