I served this for brunch with some friends... Plates were scraped clean and everyone loved it! Also, the leftovers kept well in the fridge for my husband and I to enjoy for breakfast over the week.

I followed the recipe relatively closely. I did make 2 changes, though. I used an 11 by 14 pan and 1/2 thick slices of bread. It turned out really well!

Delicious! I only used one layer of bread because I didn't have enough slices. I also broiled the top to brown it for a few minutes at the end.

I only used 6 eggs and 1 1/2 cups of milk to make it less soggy. The next morning I flipped the dish over so the most saturated bread could crisp up better. Turned out great!

Made it for a baby shower -was an absolute stunner- did make my own changes- use french bread that is cut 1/2" instead of one, and use 2x as many- it fits the pan better, and easier to dish out for company- also I melted my butter for the praline topping and used only half the pecans- secret ingred. was 1 T. of mexican vanilla in topping-as I said it was a "stunner".
