Very good, very simple. Worked exceptionally well. I was a cup short on milk, and it still came out just fine. Used a two day old loaf of italian bread that I tore up. I also mixed the bread with the egg, instead of just pouring over the top. Great! Thanks!

excellent recipe! I didn't have time to let it sit overnight and it still came out great. I added a couple of sliced apples to mine. Thanks for sharing.

Loved this recipe. Try it with adding 8 oz. cubed cream cheese. Place 1/2 of cubed bread then cream cheese then remainder of bread. Also add 1/3 cup real maple syrup to mixture you pour over it.

Oh, this was excellent! I loved it because of the taste of French toast without all the dipping and frying. This was really good. I had some dried apricots, which I stewed, and served as a topping too, yummm! I have been trying dishes to take on a camping trip, and this one definately goes with me. Thanks for posting it.
