Baked Strawberry French Toast

I agree with those that say saturating the bread with the entire mixture will result in a soggy mess. I dipped each slice of bread into the egg mixture and then poured about 1 1/2 cups over the bread in the casserole dish. I then baked it at 350 degrees for 30 minutes checked it and added 10 minutes after that. That turned out perfect.

Fabulous ingredients but the end result was a soggy ... not good texture. It was a perfect crusty on the outside though. It’s sad but probably won’t repeat.

I followed the instructions but put it in the refrigerator overnight. Then baked it the next morning for brunch with bacon, delicious. I will definitely make this again.

Just FYI for people complaining of soggyness... it is best to let it sit overnight in the fridge so all the liquid can soak into the bread...30 mins is not nearly enough time...thats why there is so much liquid. Just make it right before bed then pop in over in the morning!

I love strawberry anything but this was the worst French toast I ever made. Soggy and unable to even eat it...my husband asked me never to make it again.

Tasty. not too difficult to achieve

smelled awesome while it was cooking did not taste the best Oh well on to the next one

We love it and you can add any fruit and flavor like nutmeg. But the bottom slices were very moist not sure if I like that.

As with most who have made this, it was soggy. With that much liquid there is no way to cook this enough without frying the tops. I liked the idea but can’t do the soggy. If someone knows how to avoid this outcome I would be interested in making it again.

I thought this was excellent! I always change recipes at least a little. For this one, I added some cream cheese cut into cubes, and didn’t add the almond extract because I didn’t have any. But I think that would have been a great addition. Loved the taste of the lemon zest! We are this with some maple syrup and it was really delicious!

Delicious!

My family loved it! I used 12 slices of cinnamon raisin bread and one less egg, less sugar and it came out amazing!

I didn't put in strawberries. It was really good, but could use a bit more almond extract. I also sprinkled it with cinnamon sugar before I baked it. It made enough for at least one more meal!

I cut the recipe in half because l only wanted it for two. Instead of almond extract, I used vanilla extract. It was very good and intend to use the entire recipe when I have guest.

Strawberries were soggy and the French toast mixture did not cook well on the bread.

I think this would act like a bread pudding where it's best to let it set overnight so the bread can soak up the custard mixture to prevent it from being soggy so I'm surprised that the recipe instructions doesn't state it. This definitely takes care of that.

It was just ok for my family. It looked pretty, but it just wasn’t as good as regular French toast.

This recipe is like many of the reviews said, a soggy mess! It needs to be made in bigger pan where the liquid has a chance to bake and absorb equally on the bread. As is, the top is too crispy and the bottom is too soggy. It was my first time trying something like this with strawberry syrup and that made this recipe eatable.

Excellent! Everybody loved it and wants it again. A little healthier w/o the sugar and heavy cream.

It needs cinnamon and nutmeg

This was soooo soggy, I followed the directions, listening to other people’s changes. I opted out of using heavy cream. Still was soggy. I dipped each piece and then poured over. I wish that I would have brown each side of bread in pan then place in casserole dish, pour a small amount over. Cuz as strawberries warm they produce juices. Anyways, so if you like flan then that is the consistency of the bread you will get. Just to much egg vs bread, maybe 6 eggs instead of 8. I will try this again. For a better results very tasty. Also I added cinnamon and nutmeg. To this mix! I used a strawberry simple syrup. For drizzle flavor yummmm

Cooked it 5 minutes extra. Added a little cinnamon and nutmeg. Excellent!

This was so soggy. Kids, husband and self couldn’t eat it. It was a waste of ingredients. So sad. I tried to take individual pieces and fry them on a pan but it was unsalvageable. Don’t waste your time and money on this one. I wanted to love it but it was worse than I expected even with other reviews warning how soggy it is. More baking time did not help either.

I loved irt! I would put in more strawberries next time and I didn't put the confectioner's sugar on top. I will do that next time.

It was OK, it took a lot of time and effort. The house was really hot after using the oven. I tried it in the oven and in a pan too and they tasted alike, just use a pan. The end result was the same. It was good don't get me wrong, but it was TOO much effort!

It was good, but I couldn’t tell if the egg mixture on the bread deeper in the pan was cooked. It was pretty wet. I baked it for 55 minutes in a convection oven.

Seems like the secret is to make it the day before and refrigerate until baking the next morning. We thought it was delicious, rated it company worthy.

Very tasty, but also very soggy in the middle. I enjoyed it, my wife did not.
