WOW...this is delicious!! This french toast has a layer of bread, a layer of caramel syrup, and a layer of egg custard. It is VERY rich, but very yummy. It went together very quickly and easily. I loved the convenience of being able to make this the night before and popping it in the oven the following morning. My family loved it and I will be making this again. Thank you for sharing this wonderful PAC recipe.

Mine did not end up having the layer of egg custard, but that was just fine by me (I'm not a big custard fan), maybe it was because I cut quite fat slices of bread and let it sit overnight. I found the syrup very sweet, but the overall product was enjoyed by everyone. The only thing I might do different next time is cut the bread into strips as I had a hard time fitting them into the pan in a visually appealing way.
