Cinnamon and sugar top this fuss-free fare that tastes like French toast. Since you assemble it the previous night, you save time in the morning. —Sharyn Adams, Crawfordsville, Indiana

Printed this out a couple of months ago, finally made it this weekend. Excellent! I would make it again for sure. I used the tip of a previous reviewer and put the bread mixture into a gallon sized ziplock bag and put into fridge over night. Poured into the greased baking pan next morning, easy. Next time I would double the cinnamon and maybe add some nutmeg, but we like those flavors. Otherwise very good. Also reheats well in microwave if you have leftovers. A keeper!

Awesome!! This was really tasty. I followed another reviewer's suggestion and did not use all of the liquid. I probably used 3/4 of it though. At the end of the baking time called for, I uncovered and baked for about 10 minutes longer. I did this to crisp the top and to avoid the mushy center some talked about. Turned our perfect!

After reading other reviews, i made it in 2 9x9 pans to avoid sogginess. Came out very good.

The taste was very good as was the texture. I only had 6 eggs and I used 2 cups of milk. It was a little dry. I was also afraid it would have been too sweet with all the topping, not the case, use it all. I can't wait to make it again with all the ingrediants.

Question: if I make in muffin tins, do I use the same temperature and time? And do I cover or uncover?

Would think this could also be made in a cookie sheet for a thinner layer to avoid sogginess.

I have made this alot. Everyone loves it. I bring it to family brunches and bring back an empty dish everytime. I love that I can make it the night before. When we come home on Christmas eve from celebrating with family I put this together and then I bake it in the morning while my family opens gifts..it has become a family tradition. I get a french bread from the bakery and cut it into thick cubes and then after I poor the egg mixture over it I stir it, and then stir it again in the morning before I put the butter and cinnamon sugar mix on it. Comes out perfect every time!
