I have to agree with some of the reviews - my family thought this was a little too heavy on the sweet side. Even my three-year-old daughter thought it was too sweet! Next time, I'm going to cut the brown sugar in half and see how it tastes. Super easy to make, though!

I first made this a number of years ago and followed the recipe. It was so sweet that it made me sick to my stomach. It tasted great, but too much sugar for me so this time I made it and cut the sugar in half and all my guests said it was plenty sweet enough for them too. So I would say if you don't like extremely sweet things, cut the sugar in half.

I tried this recipe years ago just to do something different for Christmas morning and it has become a Christmas morning tradition since. I love that I can prepare it the night before and simply pop it in the oven the morning of. My family LOVES IT! Every time we do Christmas breakfast at a family member they always ask me to bring this dish, I actually have to make extra it goes VERY fast. If you like French toast try this version you will love it too.

This recipe has just earned status in our Christmas Day Brunch! Enjoyed by kids-adults alike!
I did not have challah bread.....so just substituted with wheat bread and cut off the crusts! Delicious!

My friend shared this recipe with me and I'm glad she did... so easy to make since you prepare it the night before, and it's a hit with a large crowd. She made it for easter and I made it when my parents came to visit. They were impressed. Just make sure the bread is completely immersed in the egg mixture!

I made this for New Years Day breakfast and I think it will now be on permanent rotation!! I substituted fat free french vanilla creamer for the half and half to add a little more flavor. Came out excellent! I wish the bottom would come out a little more bruleed because it came out more like flan then creme brulee. Still amazing though!

I make this every New Year's Day morning. It is very simple because of the fact that I can make it the night before and then pop it in the oven in the morning. My friends have come to love it and they miss it when they are not able to come to visit. I changed up the recipe a bit and used only 4 eggs so it would be a little less "eggy". I also added a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg to the egg batter. I also dipped the bread in the egg batter then added it to the pan with the sugar. The remaining egg mixture was then poured over the top. My friends said that this year was the best year for the french toast. It's a great recipe and will continue to be a staple on my New Year's Day mornings!

This is not your typical french toast. It tastes like Flan - and if I make it again, I would probably put it in two smaller 8 inch pans, then flip them over onto a platter for presentation. Serve immediately, because the caramel layer will start to solidify if you wait.

Nuts sprinkled on the caramel layer (pecans would have won over my husband, who is not a huge 'egg' person. However, the butter caramel topping is rich enough for me without the nuts.

I didn't have Challah, so I used two slices of potato bread stacked on top of each other, which worked out just fine. I added 2 teaspoons of Grand Marnier instead of one, and I still could not taste it. Orange zest might be a welcome addition instead...

The flavor is good, but it needs something along with it - I didn't have bacon in the house,(I served it with fruit on the side but a nice hickory or applewood smoky thick cut bacon slice would help cut the sweetness of this dish, and provide an interesting contrast.
