No offense to all those moms out there who make French Toast for their kids. You are doing it wrong. My mom did it wrong too. French Toast is crispy and rich in taste, not soggy.

This method is a great way to make a lot at once and cook the French Toast more thoroughly rather than just browning them in a skillet. I have not used this method but I have the recipe ear marked in a Betty Crocker Buffet/Entertaining cookbook that has been one of my favorites throughout the years.

I made this for breakfast today, and I must say-- You are brilliant! I used the Cinnabon bread, and it was amazing. I just love how it never became soggy, even after the syrup.

I made this for breakfast this morning. I didn't put in the oven, but it was just as delicious! I'm happy to say that I froze the leftovers and I can't wait to have it again! Susanne

I love French Toast and make it here a lot, but I will change to your recipe because the oven seems to be a better method!

Sounds good. Never baked them either. Always stopped at fried them. But they are seldom soggy until I load them up with maple syrup ;-) I guess drying them up first allows them to soak up more syrup. Yummm! I'll really be bouncing the walls!

Baking them is a great step I will add when making my next batch of French toast.
