Creme Brulee French Toast

“My family loved this recipe.It was soooo good. I used normal wheat bread because that’s all we had, but I felt the texture would have been better with challah.Since my family loves cinnamon, I added a little on top.My mom agreed that it was even better with the cinnamon.Next time I’ll put it in the with the egg mixture.”

“This made a very nice Sunday morning breakfast. I used egg substitutes and low fat half and half, and it was still very tasty. I think next time i will try and cook some sliced apples in the brown sugar mixture and add a little cinnimon for a twist. thanks for posting! I will be trying your butter pecan bread pudding next. I am sure it will be as great as this!”

“Excellent! I’ve made similar dishes, but this is my favorite. Honey adds so much flavor especially compared to corn syrup. I didn’t have Grand Marnier so had to settle for Triple Sec. The honey overpowered any orange flavor, which you’d expect with only 1t. Half and half makes this creamy and decadent. You could use milk, but it wouldn’t have the same wonderful result. Will definitely make this again! Thanks for sharing!”

“OUTSTANDING!So, easy!. Delicious.Christmas morning, for over 20 yrs, I always make an egg casserole.Last year also made this dish.My now college age kids told me just to make this again.This is a new traditional holiday breakfast.Will be making for Easter per requests.Thanks for sharing!”

“We made this as part of a breakfast tailgate for a football game. We prepped it the night before in chafing pans, threw it in the oven when we woke up, and put them on the grill to keep it warm at the tailgate. The French toast was great, everyone loved it.”

“This gets 10 stars as far as I’m concerned!! Made exactly as written and I’d never change a thing. We only got 6 servings however.Thanks for sharing!”

“My family uses a similar recipe, but with corn syrup and without the orange- we call it Skier’s Toast.It is delish. I look forward to trying it with an orange flavor.”

“I made this for our Christmas morning breakfast.It was superb!The only ingredient I didn’t have was the orange syrup, and it turned out soooo good!I will be pulling this one out for special occasions – it’s a very special recipe!Thanks for sharing. :)”

“I came across this recipe earlier this year from another site.It is sinfully delicious!Thank you for posting it!”

“So delicious! I added a bit a pumkin pie spice to the custuard mixture because I like the taste. Made this Saturday morning because my SIL was in town and heated it up on Sunday for us in a smaller pan (so the sugar wouldn’t run). Put a splash of milk on top of each piece of bread, covered with foil and reheaded in the oven at 350. It turned out perfectly.”

“I had heard this recipe was fantastic and it is.Very good.I think next time I will add some toasted pecans on top of the brown sugar before I put the bread on.”

“Great recipe thanks!תודה רבה!”

“Excellent recipe!! I didn’t follow it exactly- I didn’t have any honey, and used two layers of cinnamon raisin bread.Either way, it was fantastic, and very easy to throw together the night before a brunch.One guest described it as similar to a maple bread pudding, and it got rave reviews from everyone! Thanks!!”

“Wow!I didn’t have time to let everything sit all day (son missed the bus, and I had to leave early to drive him to school) so I put it all together when I got home from work.I didn’t add the honey or orange syrup – just didn’t have – but it was fantastic.I will try some of the lower fat suggestions next time so that I don’t feel so guilty eating it.It’s definitely a great dish for breakfast company.Very easy to assemble.Thank you!”

“I didn’t prepare this the night before, I just put all the ingredients together and coated the challah bread very well and it came out perfect. I also didn’t have half and half so I used evaporated milk instead which worked really well and I’m sure it was less fattening as well. I also sprinkled the top with cinnamon. Everyone loved this.”

“Mirj, This was hands down the very best French Toast we’ve ever had! Thanks so much. I made it for Father’s Day brunch. The only addition I will make next time is pecan halves in the bottom of the dish. This dish will be served here Christmas morning, it’s so easy to pop into the oven in the morning!”

“My sister-in-law made this for our family Christmas get together brunch and it was wonderful! She used corn syrup instead of honey and cut her 6 1-inch thick slices from the center portion of an 8-9 inch round loaf of country style bread (crusts trimmed), and everyone, including my extremely picky daughter loved it! She served hers caramel side down, which I think made a prettier presentaton, but I’m sure the taste was all the same – fantastic! By the way, the recipe posted here doesn’t mention that the vanilla should be included in step 5. Thanks for sharing! I can’t wait to make this for my family at home!”

“OMG! I made this for my family before going to work one night. I didn’t have time to have any until I got home. I asked how it was and I got “Oh, it was ok”. There were plates in the sink with syrup all over them and I asked the question (although I already knew the answer), “You didn’t put syrup on it did you?!”I heated some in the microwave (without adding any syrup) and when I took the first bite I exclaimed, “OMG!! This is sooooo good!!!!” Thank you so much for posting this recipe, Mirj. It’s a keeper!!!!”

“I made this for breakfast Easter morning for 19 people. Absolutly no complaints from anyone. Everyone, including my picky daughter loved this one! I also made the Grand Marnier Sauce(recipe # 52907)to top the toast off with if anyone desired. It’s a keeper and soooo easy!! “
