After reading about this recipe being "gooy" in the middle. I added 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts. The nuts absorbed the liquids. Baked it for 55min at 350. Perfect, yummy and oh so fattening lol

So, I made this and it was really good! It was a tad bit gooy in the middle, but it was still good. I drizzled honey on top of it, and it was really good. I even turned it into French Toast in the morning!
