I have been a fan of praline candy for many years, but this recipte did not work. It is more a bread pudding....not french toast. The egg-bread should be fried in a pan with melted butter to be a true french toast. Please make note and change your recipe accordingly.

Why do I feel like there is something missing from this recipe? It looks good, as far as she took it but, the oven recipe sort of 'drops off.'
