    Oh my that sounds rich and decadent...I, too, have made a lot of recipes like this, and while the french toast isn't "crispy", it isn't meant to be in a recipe like this, I don't think. It is rich and gooey and tasty! I will try this variation soon - sounds fantastic! Krum

    Thanks for the suggestions. I made several reecipes also similar to this one and they came out excellent but not sloppy or liquidy at all. All I can say is try it, don't sub any ingrdients and bake "long enough" so it is puffed and golden. Timing is always a guideline and thanks so much for your comment!

    I made one like this and very odd ...taste was good but very sloppy presenting it...i would suggest to make this like a bread pudding..fry your toast up first then tear into pieces and use the creme brulee base in it but you could also add more to it then like apples or golden raisins or well anything that will match up in flavor.
