This recipe sounded great. The only questionable thing to me was letting the bread soak in the egg/milk mixture for up to 24 hours. Even after toasting the bread to dry it out, I worried about it coming out soggy. That is exactly what happened. It had a sweet, crisp top and bread pudding underneath.
I am curious to try this recipe again and experiment. I may try halving the liquids and baking it right away rather than letting it sit. That could lead to disaster, but I'm willing to try. I'll let you know if I ever do it.
If you're a bread pudding kind of person, this recipe might just be for you. Head over to Valerie's blog for the recipe.

Let me know if it works out with less milk & eggs. I also wondered if I dip the bread in the mixture, cooked it like regular french toast and then put it in a pan with the topping. Then just cooked it long enough to have the sugar mixture melt and get crispy.
I've noticed French Toast Casseroles coming up on pinterest a lot lately, so I gave a version a try and we didn't like it. It was soggy and tasted eggy. The idea is great though, I hate standing at the stove making french toast and would much rather find a way to do it all at once in the oven:).
I am with you, I think with a few tweaks this could really be great! You'll have to let me know if you get something to work and I'll do the same. I like Valerie's idea too!
I am interested to find out if other ways of making this turn out any better. We found it a bit soggy too! I am not sure I will make this again. This was easy to pull together and the thought of making a recipe the night before is appealing.
