    Loved the flavor of this. The only problem was the caramel. Most of the caramel had gotten hard and extremely sticky, rip your teeth out sticky. It seems the caramel in the middle of the pan was perfect but all around the edges it was hard and stuck to the pan. My 9 yr old devoured it though. I might try again and maybe thin out the caramel a little more. I loved the idea of dipping the bread vs just pouring it on. I did not use up all the egg, maybe that was the problem with caramel but the bread had a perfect texture. It wasn't mushy like other overnight toasts. I did use pecans and they were wonderful. I am going to try again because the taste was wonderful.

    When I baked this in a convection oven for 25 mins at 375, I found the top dry & the bottom too moist & runny. To correct this, I cut the bread slices in half, turned them over & broiled for 10 minutes. The result was perfect - and there were no leftovers.

    This is wonderful. I made it for Mothers Day Brunch 2 years ago and my Dad has requested it ever since. It is one of my favorite recipes.
