    Dang! Thanks for the flag. I can’t believe I missed that ingredient LOL I’ve updated the printable recipe and I’m soooo sorry for that. I hope your work breakfast is great! Happy (almost) Friday!

    Hi, I checked and checked but I can’t find the type and quantity of bread listed in the ingredient list, I’m planning on making it tomorrow for a work breakfast on Friday. Thanks

    Hi Jen! I hate running out of an ingredient just when you get ready to make a recipe. Been there, done that! LOL Just this last weekend my husband made breakfast and used all the eggs, the eggs I needed to make rolls for Mother’s Day.

    As for the recipe. You really need the added moisture. If you have evaporated milk, cream, half and half or even coconut milk, you can substitute. The french toast bake will come out hard and dry without it. I hope it still turned out ok for you.

    Thanks for stopping by!

    Can you skip the normal milk and only use the sweetened condensed milk? Kids just drank all our milk;)

    I love French Toast casseroles/bakes/whatever you want to call them. I make one for every big holiday breakfast that we are all home as a family. I love the flavor profile of this one, and will totally be adding it for breakfast for the next big holiday!

    Oh wow at first I thought it was going to be pieces of bread but you cut it up and put it in a pan! I’ve never seen it done that way! Very cool and yummy looking (:

  17. Charlotte says

    January 15, 2017 at 3:31 pm

    I normally don’t like Dulce De Leche cake, but your pictures makes this look irresistible! And I would eat a shoe if it was covered in your caramel sauce!

    My daughter will love this. Pinning for when she comes back to visit us from Chicago!

    This recipe is literally making my mouth water. I love Dulce de Leche cake so I know that I would also enjoy this variation of it.

    Yes, you can assemble the night before and bake it off in the morning. If you do choose to do that, use a day old or crusty bread. It will hold up through the overnight soak a little better where as a regular softer bread will go a little more mushy.

  22. Rachel says

    So here’s the thing, the sweetened condensed milk is what turns caramel-y. You can most definitely skip the condensed milk in place of regular milk and 1/2 cup sugar or so to add the sweetness.

  23. Amber says

    I am definitely going to try it with the sauce!! Is it possible to assemble, refrigerate, and bake in the morning?

  24. Theresa says

    January 14, 2017 at 4:30 pm

    My mouth is watering! I grew up eating French Toast, and this looks even better. I wonder if it’s okay to use regular milk if you don’t have condensed milk?
