This variation of typical French toast is both simple to prepare and delicious. And the homemade syrup has more flavor than bottled pancake syrup ever could. I hope you like them both! -Deloris Asmus, Waseca, Minnesota

I'm not a fan of french toast, but I tried this recipe at a friend's house and it was surprisingly good. I'll definitely be making it again.

I followed the recipe exactly and my french toast turned out soggy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The french toast itself was good, but the homemade syrup was a bit too sweet for my taste.

This recipe was a lifesaver! I had a bunch of leftover bread that I didn't know what to do with, and this was the perfect solution. It was quick and easy to make, and it tasted amazing.

This was my first time making baked french toast and it came out great! I was worried it would be too dry, but it was actually really moist and fluffy. I'll definitely be making this again.

I've made baked french toast many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The secret is in the homemade syrup - it's so flavorful and really takes this dish to the next level.

This baked french toast was a hit with my family! It was easy to make and turned out perfectly golden brown and fluffy. I loved the addition of the cinnamon and nutmeg, which gave it a warm and inviting flavor. Even my picky kids gobbled it up.
