Jean's Stuffed French Toast Strata image

We had this the morning after Christmas. This is another of my MIL's recipes. Gosh...her house smelled wonderful when this was baking. I haven't cooked this recipe myself, but my kids and DH want me to. The Apple Cider Syrup recipe is being posted and I will post it's recipe #. This tastes like it should be served with Cool Whip.

I added some chopped spinach and mushrooms to the filling. It was a great way to sneak in some extra vegetables.

I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This recipe was a disaster! The bread was soggy and the filling was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

This French toast strata was a little too eggy for my taste. I would reduce the amount of eggs in the recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt to the filling.

This French toast strata was a huge hit with my family! It was so easy to make and it turned out perfectly. The bread was fluffy and eggy, and the filling was rich and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
