Can you tell me how many hours to cook this on high? Or if I can cook it in the oven instead and then transfer it to the crockpot for serving.
How big was your loaf size?
I made it last night for today, and used a 16oz (standard bakery) sized loaf. It was perfect!
How big was your slow cooker? I’m wanting to make this for 10-12 adults.
Hi. This looks so good. I want to double the recipe but not sure if I should use 2 crockpots or will it be ok to put in one. Have you done this in the oven?
I made this, and it does “puff” a bit as it cooks. I would say 2 crockpots for a double recipe.
Made this last night, and out turned out so good. It isn’t overly sweet, and worked fine with fresh blueberries. I think it would be great with mixed frozen berries too!
I love this recipe, I made it last night for breakfast this morning. The smell of French toast was already wacting through the house. The next time I make it instead of layering the bread and then pouring in the egg mixture I am probably going to let the bread soak into the egg mixture for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally that way all the pieces have a chance to absorb some of the bread, as I found the bottom was very moist and casserole-y. I think it will help distribute the moisture.
I made this for Christmas morning and it was delicious.
