Nice cinnamon flavor, and this french toast is baked, making it easy on the cook.

But what doesn't work so well is the way its put together. First, you bake bread that has been buttered and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. The idea is to give it a nice crunchy top. Then you place these prepared slices so they are on a diagonal, with the upper crust of each one sticking up. The egg-milk mixture goes in next, it soaks, and then bakes.

The soak of course dissolves 75% of the nice cinnamon crust that you spent time developing in step one. And by baking on the diagonal, the top crusts (which still have the cinnamon crust) are very very dry.

I didn't dislike this, but it wasn't brilliant, and if preparing a brunch for friends, this is not the recipe that I would select.
