We made this as part of a breakfast tailgate for a football game. We prepped it the night before in chafing pans, threw it in the oven when we woke up, and put them on the grill to keep it warm at the tailgate. The French toast was great, everyone loved it.

This gets 10 stars as far as I'm concerned!! Made exactly as written and I'd never change a thing. We only got 6 servings however. Thanks for sharing!

My sister-in-law made this for our family Christmas get together brunch and it was wonderful! She used corn syrup instead of honey and cut her 6 1-inch thick slices from the center portion of an 8-9 inch round loaf of country style bread (crusts trimmed), and everyone, including my extremely picky daughter loved it! She served hers caramel side down, which I think made a prettier presentaton, but I'm sure the taste was all the same - fantastic! By the way, the recipe posted here doesn't mention that the vanilla should be included in step 5. Thanks for sharing! I can't wait to make this for my family at home!

My family loved this recipe. It was soooo good. I used normal wheat bread because that's all we had, but I felt the texture would have been better with challah. Since my family loves cinnamon, I added a little on top. My mom agreed that it was even better with the cinnamon. Next time I'll put it in the with the egg mixture.
