OMG i loved the flavor in this recipe. I did change it around a bit. I was having a crowd up to the lake so I made it into a casserole instead of french toast. I spread the cheese mixture on the bread and then cut them up into cubes and put them into a casserole, added the egg mixer,dolloped some lemon curd on top and put it in the fridge until morning. I baked it at 350 for about 45 min. it was wonderful. thanks
