This moist French toast bake is a snap to assemble the night before and bake in the morning. While it's pleasantly sweet as is, let guests drizzle raspberry syrup over the top for a finishing touch. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Had to take breakfast to work for 20 people. Made the raspberry one but also decided to make an apple one too. I used 3 med apples diced (deleted the raspberries and almonds). I put the apples in the microwave for a few minutes to assure cooking all the way through in the morning. I turned the apple/bread/egg mixture over a few times before refrigerating. It was a bigger hit than the raspberry one. I will definitely make them both again.

This recipe was awesome! I accidentally used 1 extra egg, but it turned out well. We also only used 1/4 cup of almonds. It was awesome! Thanks for the recipe!

I cut down on the amount of milk and used more bread like the other readers recommended and its was great, definately a keeper. Had a little bit of a hard time getting out of the dish.

I served this to four friends today at a birthday breakfast, and they clamored for the recipe. Actually, although I had real maple syrup and raspberry syrup on the table, they liked it fine with no syrup because it is so moist.

I used some stale cinnamon rolls in this recipe and cut down a bit on the brown sugar - This is a wonderful recipe! I made one for work, which they finished, and came home and made another one for my hubby and me!

If the inside is soggy, the bread you are using was sliced thin...when that is the case use more bread. Very special breakfast===family loves. lol MAM

Excellent recipe. The first time I fixed this was at our family reunion campout. Everyone raved about it, & wanted the recipe.It was the first pan emptied. My daughter-in-law fell in love with it. Later she was asked to be over the menu for a large womens church function. She suggested this recipe and was asked to prepare it for sampling beforehand. It was a smash with them also. It became the main dish for this women's church brunch & again the recipe was in big demand. I read recently on this daughter-in-laws blog that this is her most favorite recipe, especially for special meals. Thanks Taste of Home for sharing this recipe with us! I prepare it with fresh raspberries, but my daughter-in-law uses frozen and it is just as yummy.

If you find your bread too soggy try not to use as much milk. I think that overnight recipes for baked french toast reminds me a little of bread pudding. I love bread pudding.

We tried this recipe for Sunday breakfast today and found it very disappointing. I made it specifically to directions and it came out crisp on top and mushy/soggy on the inside. Nothing is worse than soggy bread! I've gotten such great recipes from Taste of Home that I was surprised by this disappointing recipe.

This is a Christmas morning tradition in our house. After trying several other recipes we found this combination just right, not too sweet and not too rich. I've also made this with blueberries or strawberries.
