This was fabulous- we enjoyed this the day before Christmas. I didn't do the caramel sauce, since I served if for breakfast and wanted to watch my calories. I love to make this the night before and pop it in the oven for breakfast. Very filling and addictive.<br/><br/>Update- we make this at least 2 times a month for breakfast. It is so good with powdered sugar on top and/or maple syrup. My hubby and kids just love this breakfast. I like to use whole wheat French bread to make it even more filling. So great you make it the night before. What a fabulous great dish!

Very yummy. I used 4 slices of blueberry crumble bread, and 4 slices of cinnamon bread. I also used all cream instead of 1/2 milk (had cream I had to use up) and orange zest for the lemon, double the vanilla, and just mixed everything together instead of layering it. I only baked for about 38 minutes and it came out perfect! Will be making this again.
