I finally got around to trying these, and will make again. DELISH! I agree with s_pants, a few pieces of banana, strawberry fell out, but no problem sticking them back in, and I was able to flip them over just fine.

As with the previous reviewer, the bananas and strawberries did fall out while turning, but I just stuck them back in...it was only one or two each time. I normally don't like bananas in sweet items, but I thought these were very good. My husband wants me to try it on regular bread.

I recommend just making the french toast first and then putting the strawberries and bananas aftweward. It was too difficult to flip, the berries and banana slices kept sliding out.
