“This recipe came from a colleague years ago and has become a potluck, brunch and family favorite! My staff used to ask for it every holiday. I love the convenience of great make-ahead recipes and this is one I turn to all the time. I like to sprinkle it with cinnamon and sugar when removing it from the oven."

Way, way, way too sweet!! OMG - it is

sickening sweet. I used cinnamon bread, should have at least skipped the additional sugar. Never again.... Wow....

I made this for Christmas morning brunch with our grown kids and their significant others. It was a huge hit and requested to have it again next year.

The (room temperature) regular cream cheese didn't melt at all - NOT low fat. Expected more of a maple syrup flavor. Just could not use 2 Tbs of vanilla. Seemed too much.

I halved the recipe & baked it in an 8-inch square pan. I left out the nutmeg. It was delicious! Love that I can prepare it the night before. This was my first time making an overnight French toast bake - have been wanting to try one for a long time & finally felt brave enough to do it with this recipe.

This is by far the favorite choice for Christmas morning but everyone loves it so much, I sneak it in on other special days too!

We loved it did not have 1/2 and 1/2 so used whole milk my 3 boys could not get enough of it and it tastes better with age :)

We had this with our dinner tonight - Great! I agree with cutting down on the sugar; I used half of the recipe amount and it was fine, didn't need any more - especially since my kids will always want to add powdered sugar and syrup on top. This is a keeper. Thanks!
